I cooked something!

Yesterday, I made honey-oatmeal bread for the first time. It's the first loaf of bread that I've made that actually rose to full size and looked like a proper loaf of bread.

The honey added a nice sweetness to it that made it especially tasty. Ravyn, I used some of that Swamp Honey (I have a jar, too). I swear that's some of the tastiest honey I've ever had--I think there's something in the mix that tastes like citrus flower honey.

The fruitcakes I made two weeks ago are still curing in the fridge, of course. I soak them with rum.

You know, the best part of making fruit cake is 'sampling' the liquor - just to make sure it's of suitable quality of course. ;)

The bread sounds good too, around here the best honey comes from fireweed (Epilobium).
