A Morning Dusting of Snow and Bread Baking

The scene at our house this morning is a pleasant one. We had a nice dusting of snow outside (just enough). Inside are six fresh loaves of holiday beet bread. It smells fabulous. Pete Seeger provides the soundtrack.

We got about an inch of snow this morning, just enough to cover up the ugly stuff.

A peek out the front door.

I’m making a few batches of beet bread this year. It has become one of my favorite bread recipes.

It includes wite and wheat flour, beet puree, thyme, salt, water, and a touch of garlic. Serve it with goat cheese right out of the oven for further enjoyment.

Critters loafing about. Here’s Sofie after some outdoor snow playtime.

We set up a tree a few weeks ago, which has added a pleasant smell and ambiance to our home.

More critters loafing about. Doing what they do best.

As a side note, I picked up a copy of Pete Seeger’s latest album, “At 89″. It provided this morning’s mellow soundtrack. Here’s a few clips:
