I wanted to make a savoury vegan bread. Many savoury bread recipes have cheese as an ingredient. Based on this recipe but omitted the cheese and replaced walnuts with almonds. Used olive oil. https://www.asdagoodliving.co.uk/food/recipes/tomato-asparagus-loaf About 500g bread flour 2 tsp instant 2 tsp salt 1 tsp sugar About 150g Thai asparagus - sautéed and chopped, kept a few shoots for decor Dried tomatoes - oven baked from 500g fresh tomatoes Chopped walnuts - used what was left in snack container - with skin/peel on - next time, should use nuts without peel 2 tbsp olive oil Water as needed Made dried tomatoes from Malaysian tomatoes - 500g reduces a lot.

Prices are better and the sea cucumber is already with my mother, for her preparation, regardless of the timing of my tri...

I turned the pot moringa plant as the branches were growing lopsided. See the plant's 180° moves in the pics below. Amazing.
