Road Trip

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.
Confucius, Chinese philosopher (551–479 BC)

Southern Ontario scenery in the summertime is majestic, even with rain falling, even from a perspective over the steering wheel, even from one of the nation's busiest highways. I thoroughly enjoyed today's outing to lunch with Cairo friends. En route I wandered a little off the highway to find Canada's oldest operating flour mill, to be featured on a Travel Tuesdays post after I try my hand at baking with the purchased spelt. There are 'firsts' for me around every corner!

    Spelt 'tip' - you may find that using 100% spelt results in a heavy and dense loaf. I use a 50:50 mix of spelt and unbleached white (from Redbournbury Mill). I would guess the mill you mention offers unbleached, but if you can't get it then supermarket strong white will be fine.

    Happy eating !

    Thanks for the tip! The mill provided a recipe for spelt bread that only uses spelt, so I'll be heeding your advice. You are a man of myriad talents!

    ...thank you !!
    I was due to give a presentation about the NHM to a group of students and the colleague who was chairing the session described me in his into. as 'multi-dimensional'

    I think he was referring to my waistline...
