...like the squirrel nutcraker that was in Pete's Christmas stocking, which has created hours of fun. I never knew breaking shells could be so satisfying. We have also found many a use for a walnut shell. Little candles, little boats in the bath and a great game when you have three shells and hide a pea under one and move them around before guessing which one it is under - what is the name of that game? I need to exorcise my 'bread baking' demons as Molly over at One Good Loaf has reminded me, I had a run of turning out awful bread for various reasons last year and one of my resolutions for 2009 is to get over this hurdle of mine! One Good Loaf is a great weekly blog about baking bread and now has over 100 members - check it out, if like me you like nothing better than hot crusty bread straight out of the oven spread with delicious butter and jam - mmmmmmm.
