I love the glorious aroma of freshly baked home-made bread. However I have limited bread making skills and I am rather scared of using yeast so other than occasionally making focaccia I tend to stick to baking breads that don’t require it. The yeast free spelt bread pictured above is very easy to make; it is just the thing when you want to cut back on your wheat intake and it tastes delicious. The recipe comes from ‘Cornucopia at Home: The Cook Book’.

♥ RIP Steve Jobs
I am a huge fan of Apple products and I was very sad to hear of Steve Jobs untimely death. I saw this Jobs quote, from a speech he made at Stanford University in 2005, on a large number of websites this morning.

♥ Grammar Glamour
Beware, if you are thinking of starting a blog it may change your life in ways you least expect. I had no idea when I set up Just Add Attitude that writing it would pique an interest in grammar and punctuation. In an earlier post I talked about using Lynn Truss’s book, Eats, Shoots & Leaves to help improve my shaky grasp of the rules of punctuation. However I am still wondering if the sentences I string together are grammatical correct, I am still struggling with the comma and I am still trying to come to grips with the correct use of the semicolon.
♥ Something Completely Different
I don’t know about you but I am very easily diverted from what I should be doing and I am always looking for some distraction that will allow me to postpone diving into the to do list. The internet is a veritable treasure trove of such distractions and it was there I happened upon a site called draw a stickman.

♥ Built for Love
Kylemore Castle (now know as Kylemore Abbey) in Connemara owes its existence to Mitchell Henry scion of a wealthy Mancunian family. Mitchell fell in love with Connemara when he and his wife Margaret honeymooned there in 1849. When he inherited the family fortune he returned to the West of Ireland and purchased, as a romantic gift for Margaret, 15,000 acres in an idyllic situation beside two lakes and overlooked by a multitude of magnificent mountains. There he built a gothic fairy tale like castle made of granite and limestone; the castle was completed in 1867.
