@Sprite those are really good!

Here's a great list of live webcams all over the world. A lot of empty streets and beaches. It's good but at the same time so sad.

My husband purchased a world map.... gave me a dart and said "throw this and wherever it lands I'm taking you for a holiday when this pandemic is over". Turns out we're spending two weeks behind the fridge.

Stay well

@veg_out Thanks for all that! I was going to make a tuna casserole but I don't have any tuna. One of the recipes suggest use just vegetables! Good idea.

The lemon pasta sounds delicious. I just might make that tonight.

I made homemade bread this morning. It's rising now.

@GuardianAngel, homemade bread sounds cozy right now. Hope you enjoy the lemon pasta if you make it or any of the other recipes

@veg_out change of plans. I was going to make two loaves of bread but decided to make one and one flatbread. Then decided to have a big salad with the flatbread.

I will try the lemon pasta though, it sounds yummy.

@GuardianAngel, I tried to make homemade bread about a month ago. It was inedible If you have any tips, please share!

@GuardianAngel local stores are out of dry yeast and flour - only self rising flour!

When I checked out the bread selection last week it was pretty empty. I didn't need any at that time, I just wanted a loaf of sliced (french toast for supper) for the freezer since everyone was buying it. The week after I went to pick up a few things and same thing, very low on bread. I had already decided I was going to bake bread so I went down that isle to buy the yeast. I could not believe the flour shelves were almost bare. I've never ever seen that. Christmas time Thanksgiving whatever, I have choices beyond choices because it seems no one bakes but there was hardly anything left. I had a lot of flour because I had lots for Xmas.

Making bread is easy, it's not as hard as some may think. Just follow any basic white bread recipe. The water has to be warm, not too hot. Add the yeast and stir it well. Get a bowl put the flour in it, stir the yeast again. With the end of a wooden spoon start stirring the flour and add the water slowly. Yes the end of a wooden spoon! Keep stirring until all the water has been added. It will be a sticky dough. Flour a surface, add the dough and flour the top of the dough and start kneeding. It doesn't matter how you kneed it. Add sprinkles of flour so it's not sticky but don't add too much. It should be smooth, not sticky.

You can cut it in half and make two loaves.

My other favourite thing to make is bundt pan pizza. Once your dough it made, grab balls the size of a meatball. Layer the bottom of a bundt pan, add some tomato sauce, just a tablespoon or so or more if you like, on top of each ball. cheese and whatever else you want. Make another layer of dough balls, cheese sauce etc. You don't have to be fancy. Bake it for approx 1 hour. It's so darn good!

From the recipe thread.

I made a Pizza Bread. When I discovered this recipe a few years ago I made it quite often. I forgot all about it the last year or two, and came across it in my recipe's. I made the dough as well!

You can put whatever you want in it. This time I used, shredded three cheeses, roasted red peppers, and kalamata olives since it's no meat tomorrow.
