Semana 7 Domingo

We have a conversation about what we miss about home, which is surprisingly little, when you don’t count all the people we’d love to be hanging out with.

Roast dinners, baths, our cat and proper bread feature high up the list, and we decide that at least we can do something about the things we miss in England. To this end I start to make my own bread, using the yeast (levadura) I have finally managed to find here.

I’ve never used yeast at altitude before, and it really makes a difference, just like it does with baking powder (Mexican baking powder has instructions on the tin for how much to use at different altitudes). There’s not much we can do about the bath and the roast dinner, but we finish our evening with home-made scones and Evensong from Clare College, Cambridge (thanks to BBC’s internet radio player). Wonderful. And that’s how we mark Remembrance Sunday.
