Saturday night unfever

I have just founded the time to sit and make 2 very, very quick sketches , upload them and write a few lines. Somehow it was a busy Saturday between people coming to visit, going shopping, cleaning the house, cooking and then A. organized a Spieltreffen (that is board game fans get together to play); today I played, but the game was a bit stressy and difficult, so now I am tired. The drawings: one of A. preparing a class and the next A. and one of his friends arranging the board game.

After yesterday´s post I feel a bit drained, it was very emotional for me to write a bit about my grandparents, I realized that there is a lot more that needs to come out; but not today. So for now I wish everyone a nice weekend, hopefully I´ll have more time tomorrow.

P.D: About cooking, today I baked an Irish soda bread, it was just amazing and so easy! (no kneading, no yeast). Here is the recipe which I got from epicurious.com:

3 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

salt to taste

1 1/2 cup buttermilk (could be a bit more though)

Preheat oven to 425°F or 230°C or 8 in a Gas oven. Lightly flour baking sheet. Mix flour,  baking soda and salt. Mix in enough buttermilk to form moist clumps. Gather dough into ball. Turn out onto lightly flour surfaced and knead just until dough holds together, about 1 minute. Shape dough into a round. Place on prepared baking sheet. Cut a deep X across top of bread, extending almost to edges. Bake until bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, about 35 minutes.
