Pah indeed to 'to the rest of you it is not a significant thing', that is so impressive to have bothered attempting let alone it being so good Mr KK ate it all up!
Proud of you.
And you smashed the rest of the productive day too!

Did Mr KK have a good time away? (Other than pining for you, of course)

OMG losing the fear of yeast is a total game changer!! well done you 👏👏👏 you clever girl!  It is HUGE!!  Pizza bases, then focaccia, then rolls, then sweet ones .... So much tastier, you know exactly what is in it, and you can have fun tinkering and experimenting.  It is so much fun pairing the rolls to the soup!  or the filling! Plus if you shove it in the fridge it is like pressing the pause button so you can deal with it later.
Congratulations 🎉  I still can't make a slicing loaf though. I no longer care though 😁

 I cracked loaf making and was doing it regularly, but the smell was too tempting and the whole family would devour it with lots of butter as soon as it came out of the oven - not even waiting for it to cool!  Good but not for the waistline so I stopped  

Thanks for the reminder of how lovely homemade pizzas are @kajikita, but I've completely forgotten how, need to remind myself and have a pizza night next weekend.  Another one who hasn't made focaccia any pointers to a good recipe @f0xh0les?  I'm guessing we could also freeze rolls at some point in the process?  Freshly baked bread is so lovely, but if I could bake a couple or rolls that might be better (rather than devouring a good part of a loaf).

@SandyShores, i used this one:

Had a very lazy day …. Less than 5K steps! 😉
Started with a 75 minute call with my ex teacher in Buddhism at 7am this morning. He’s been nagging me for a call for months, so to get that done will ease the pressure from him. 

Had the quote from a neighbour who does rendering, plastering etc for all the making good on the outside of the living room and the rendering of the patio base - £700 + materials. Probably c. £1200 all in? 🤔
I have cleaned the inside of the windows in my bedroom, Mr KK’s bedroom (euwww ….), the office and the living room. Still lots more to do but that’s a good start 😊
Done lots of knitting whilst watching lots of Loocifer 😊
Stewed plums for the first time ever - added a splash of Mr KK’s calvados, proper tasty with ice cream fro dessert this evening, Mr KK impressed 😊

Oh forgot … The AA renewal came out of the joint account so I have gently nagged Mr KK and we have both put half each in to top the savings account back up,😊

The plums sound delicious, reminded me of some poached pears in red wine I had at a dinner a few year's back and that I always meant to try making myself.  Yum.

Ooh, I could imagine that working really well 😊

There are very few things less zen than nagging someone for months to do a 75 minute phone call, and at 7am 😂 I hope you talked about how he's unhappy in his work!

Had some lovely poached pears when I was in Ireland a couple of years back.  Think they poached them just in a light sugar water with anise in it - lush!
