World Bread Day and other rambles

Apparently today is World Bread Day. I wish there was a little more information at that site. But the upshot is that someone declared it World Bread Day and I believe bread is a healthy global staple food. Or can be. I'm all for whole grain healthy homemade bread! Whooo!

So my plan is to kimodify a combination of two bread recipes The Grand Lunar sent me the other day -- for a whole grain bread that can be made with minimal effort, and a speedy non-whole-wheat recipe. 'Cause I'm all about the minimal effort. And the kimodification. If I were smart, I'd also think of a clever healthy soup or stew to go with the bread, for a complete dinner. Maybe I still will. I'll be out this afternoon, so getting the crock pot ready would be ideal, if only I can think up something that uses ingredients I have on hand.

Anyway. Won't you join us for World Bread Day and have yourself some healthy bread?

In other rambles:
I need to wrap up my knitting project (uh, no, not the shrug, it's been bumped for the moment) in the next day or two because I have an urgent project coming down the line.

Also, today iliacat and I used a kimodification of Feye's Self-Trim Method and gave me a haircut. I can't reach behind me well, so I use iliacat as my behind-the-head arms. We cut about 6" off the back, but since my hair insists on growing unevenly and in straggles, the effect is more to tidy up uneven ends than a drastic haircut. And then we parted it down the middle of the back and I pulled it together in a sort of loose pony tail somewhere out in front of my nose (rather than pulled down in front as shown in Feye's Method for the U- and V-) and pulled it out to where the bottom ends were slipping out, and snipped the end of that front pony tail to sort of taper the sides and make it a little shorter on top, although not really bangs. There are no before or after pictures, because I'm sure whatever you're imagining is more clever. I must say that this is one time I'm glad to have curly and forgiving hair that allows me such simple and inexpensive haircuts. Without some crazy hair stylist insisting on blowing it dry, somehow thinking it won't foof for them. Because it always does.

I thought there was something else I was going to tell you, but of course I've forgotten. Maybe I'll remember when I'm out and far from my computer.
