This weekend we dug the breadmaker out of the cupboard and attempted to make some raisin bread. It’s been ages since I last used it, and I vaguely remember that I used to have to put more water in than it said in the official recipe, otherwise it came out wrong. Anyway, I decided to stick with the recipe for the first attempt, and we ended up after two and a half hours with a stodgy loaf of bread only 5cm high. It still smelled great, and the boys and I were starving, so we decided to try it anyway – and it wasn’t too bad actually – tasty, but very, very stodgy. While we were all struggling to eat a slice each, I wondered out loud whether mummy would like to try it. Matthew looked at me and said “I think it’s boy’s bread really”. P.S. The next 3 loaves were no better.

I’m currently listening to KrazyBen’s Mashed of 2006 mashups, they are excellent. Actually they are more like mashups of mashups, as he’s taken a load of existing work by other mashup artists and remixed them together. (2019-02-28: removed dead links)
