In which I am weakened

[desperance]

I fear I have become a wimp, in the twenty-odd years since I used to bake regularly. Ten minutes' kneading doesn't half make my arms ache. In very particular muscles, that I clearly don't use else. And one loaf a week isn't likely to improve that very much...

Still. This week's loaf is looking even better than last week's. Currently cooling a little, before I cut it. Now would be a good time to heat the soup. 'Scuse me...

When I thought I had carpal tunnel (which turned out to be a ganglion cyst--cyst removed, pain vanished like magic!) my husband got us a big Kitchen Aid mixer with a kneading attachment. I've never used it because I really like kneading (it's therapeutic) but I don't make bread often--the family consumes it before it's cooled, and then I would have to make bread all over again, and I'd never get any work done and I'd have arms like a navvy.
