"Totemo Oishii " Sourdough Bread & Muffins

While I was relaxing in the hot bath at the fitness club, a young friend whom I had given samples of my sourdough garlic bread and English muffins said, " Hey, those bread were REALLY GOOD! (Totemo oishikatta!). I am so amazed at how they could retain their freshness!". Then she continued saying her appreciation, again and again -a typical of Japanese custom- but hearing that was, for me, a...chiisa na shiawase.

Sourdough Bread with roasted garlic and caraway seeds

This is the sourdough bread with roasted garlic and caraway seeds that I baked on Jan 28th. And below are the English muffins I made on Jan 31st.



Sourdough English Muffins
Taking into consideration the size/amount that women my age usually consume, I made my muffins a little smaller than the usual "Thomas English muffins".


The photo below shows my original English muffin sandwich, which I had for lunch one day.

 English muffin, half a hard-boiled egg, sauteed spinach, slices of fresh onions and tomato, topped with salt and pepper and a bit of powdered gouda cheese)


Those that I had not given away I wrapped individually and placed them in the freezer. Next time my grandchildren come for a visit, they will surely have Lola's English muffins for breakfast or snack!!! Those muffins will be among their...chiisa na shiawase.
