Challah

Here are some photos of a marbled raisin and cinnamon challah I made. I forgot to take a photo of the bread out of the oven, so just imagine what it looks like. This is a five strand braid before and after rising.

Warm weather

Here's what happens with November is unseasonably warm. You can't tell from the first photo, but look in the second photo and you'll see that two rows of garlic had already sprouted and grown a few inches. Here's another of a snapdragon blooming and then one of lettuce that I'm hoping will go to seed.
