in the kitchen

there is NOTHING like the smell and anticipation of fresh baked bread...

i made two loaves last night
I find kneading bread dough very relaxing

I also made old fashioned raspberry jam - we have a bunch of frozen raspberries from our patch
maybe I will make a pie this weekend
see link below for recipe - canned up several jars
of course we kept one in the fridge for immediate gratification - yummy!

and this morning...mmmmm... toasted with a slather of butter & fresh jam...sooo good
is it me or does my little doggie look like he'd like a bite?

OLD FASHIONED RASPBERRY JAM - very simple to make, no pectin & full of flavor!
