Matt looked up a recipe for bread in the bread maker — yes we have a bread maker and still use it, though I prefer making it by hand, actually. We’re sitting in the living room waiting for the person to come and give us an estimate on replacing our gutters, and he says the bread recipe he read calls for the flour to be sifted, coz then it’s less dense and the bread will rise nicely and be lighter.
Then I said how I wish I still had my mum’s sifter. I loved using the sifter and we just had a little one and it was so fun to do and it made a cool sound, and I wish I had that and the nut grinder, and my mum would always let me grind the walnuts or whatever for baking, and then I was crying coz I miss my mum’s sifter and my mum’s nut grinder and my mum.
Isn’t it funny the things that set you off?
