That's exactly why we moved here nearly 3 years ago. Peaceful and quiet -
apart from the weather of course! It's not to everyone's taste but it
suits us down to the ground. Looking forwards to the solstice next week -

I take it Papa Stronsay is on the left and your Island is on the
right??

And what is the meaning of 'Papa'??

Papa, in italian, means Pope.



Thanks Pandy :-)

Seems like a funny name for an Island.
LOL it's true

Thank you - but so many cars! It's not what I'd have expected ...

We'd have loved to live on such an island but when we were young we had no
money and now that we're old we need the (very) local health care, which has
treated us excellently in the last few years.

sigh You can't have everything ... :-(

Spouse once applied for a job in New Zealand but he didn't get it, I think
that country would have suited us - and we it - greatly. Still, no point in
regretting the past, we must enjoy today and rejoice for those who do what
we'd have liked :-)

I am so insanely jealous of you that I can't stand it. I'm trying to
convince my husband that he, too, wants to move to Scotland (Skye) after
the kids are grown. It's an uphill battle, but I'll win!

Sounds like Tasmania, where I will eventually move to.

Somewhere around the Strahan (sounds like Strawn)
area.

Japan too...slang. The first phrase I learned in Japanese was "Papa wa
dadi desu ka." (Who's your daddy)...I hung around too many firefighters.

Has anyone actually Pyrex to bake this with this high heat. (450
degrees) It seems that the wet dough would crack the Pyrex.
I used a 2qt Crueset and it seems too small.

I found a site on the web that stated that the company that makes
Pyrex has changed the formulation. The old stuff was pretty safe when
you put cold into a hot Pyrex dish, but the new stuff is supposedly
dangerous and may shatter. I don't know any more about this, and I
don't use Pyrex for bread baking, but if you do, you should check it out.

I had a pyrex dish shatter from thermal shock once. It's \
definitely something to be aware of.

In this case though, cooking bread in it at 450 F won't
be a problem. They're designed for that temp and the
wet dough isn't a factor.

I've done it several times in a Visions 5L pot. No problems.

Whatever.

So, no sense of humor, either. No understanding of word

Try this one........

They're ok, but not a yeast bread, so it'll be missing the
complex flavors that come from long rises. Damper won't give
a texture anywhere near this bread. Nothing wrong with it,
just a different critter.
Which is why they are good for when you're out camping etc.
Of course. But that wasn't the subject.

No. It was 'no knead bread'........ which is what damper is.

Peter, the differences between a baking powder bread and a
yeast bread are large. That you seem to be unable to
recognize them means you would do better to discuss
Australian slang and the Southern Cross while the rest of us
talk about food. Bran muffins are "no-knead bread" too.
Exactly the same, right?
