Happy Hour Cocktails

We went for a happy hour drink.  Something I haven't done for years!  The cosmo tastes a little different from what I remember. 

Back to School Traffic

I opted to take a train on the Monday instead of driving on M62 during rush hour Monday,  back to school Monday.  I didn't have time to look at the traffic before I had to sort out the rail disription instead! 

ELOR Completion

We have already been on the ELOR, but not all sections.  We finally completed all aection this weekend.  Some of the roundabouts are so big,  it was quite confusing. 

Garforth Show

We went to this year's Garforth show.   There are large vegetables,  flower display, wonky vegetable the usual.   But unbeknownst to me,  they sometimes auction out the vegetables at the end,  interesting. 

"Fibre" Broadband

I got given a new router.  Strangely, it is called "fibre" even though it plugs onto the telephone.  It still looks like ADSL to me.  The speed test suggests it is faster, I am not convinced.

Thirsty Rye

I have been trying to use up the rye flour I got.  I tried the normal recipe, but it never looks right.  I recall somewhere someone said rye is very thirsty, so I added extra water.  I need to remember any rye recipe will require a higher hydration, even the fine ground one, if not more so.

2lb Bread

I was reading the recipes and it always refer to a 2lb bread, 900g bread, when the recipe clearly does not add up to 900g in weight.  It suddenly dawned on it, it are referring to the size of the loaf tin.  What a stupid way to call/size that loaf tin!  What was ever 2lb in that tin?  Meatloaf?
