Chickpea bread, yoga and an angel unawares

 I needed bread after the naan was finished, so I thought I'd venture on chickpea bread and discovered one recipe with soda water, which I don't have and wasn't about to drive in search of, and one with psyllium powder ditto, but I tried that anyway. 

The dough was very liquid probably because no psyllium which I think makes a gel like effect. So I added a cup of whole wheat flour, and it turned into dough, as you see, about to sit and rise

It didn't rise much, but after waiting an hour, I slashed it anyway, and baked it

It came out pretty edible, good crumb though different from wheat bread

and it tastes very much of chickpea. I had a couple of buttered slices with afternoon pot of tea. I think it will toast well. If I'd wanted to be  gluten free, I'd have used oats instead of the wheat flour. I might try that another time.

And this is who greeted me at the dumpster. I entertained an angel unaware, evidently. Looks like a son of toil, in a ton of soil.

I took part in a podcast last evening with a group of Spoutible friends, all following the latest Sussex (Harry and Meghan) gossip, all supporters of their good works, some raising funds to support special projects. 

It was pure indulgence, chatting with people I agreed with! Sometimes that's good, a change from challenging your beliefs, which some of us conscientious types feel obliged to do in the cause of living a meaningful life.

If course we also need rest,  relaxation, meditation. And yoga

happy day,  everyone, do it your way! Or your ancestors' way, puzzle clue incoming there..
