I'm so sorry to he...Dear Bakin' in Bermuda,<br />I'm so sorry to hear that your bread didn't rise! I agree with your suggestion that it was very likely your yeast that caused the problem. And, in answer to your question, yes, the honey should be 1/4 cup (thanks for bringing that typo to my attention! I appreciate it).<br />Keep on baking, no matter what!<br />:) Jane Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09530631702237541328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-9456264638849617362013-11-01T20:04:15.820-04:002013-11-01T20:04:15.820-04:00I tried your recipe today and it never looked as s...I tried your recipe today and it never looked as smooth as yours does while rising and it barely even rose!

It's hard to know what to say in the short context of a blog post without going overboard in a situation like this. Many thanks to you!<br />Jane<br /><br />Dear Susi,<br />Thanks so much. He was indeed a heck of a guy. <br />Warmly,<br />Jane :)<br /><br />Marie,<br />Many thanks! The loaf was a pretty color, wasn't it? I'm always relieved when any yeast bread I made turns out normal looking! ;)<br />Thanks again,<br />Jane<br /><br />Dear Stella,<br />You are so right. It is a strange mixture of sadness, relief, and natural acceptance. I loved your note. Thanks so much!<br />Jane :)<br /><br />Dear Annie,<br />What a kind and caring comment you left. I'm so pleased that you decided to do so! It is a coincidence indeed that you lost your grandma the same day. It's still hard, isn't it, to lose someone you have loved for years even if they're very elderly. We are so lucky to have good memories. My sincere sympathy to you and your family as well.<br />Very warmly,<br />Jane :)Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15544889312932100386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-54145918167888577882010-05-01T15:08:16.342-04:002010-05-01T15:08:16.342-04:00What a beautiful tribute to Grandpa Joe...What a beautiful tribute to Grandpa Joe...Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-17013170050045754912010-05-01T13:08:07.756-04:002010-05-01T13:08:07.756-04:00Jane,
What a lovely tribute to your father-in-law...Jane,<br /><br />What a lovely tribute to your father-in-law. In the past, I have salivated when looking at your recipes, but I have never commented(shame on me), but today I just had to. It is very ironic that I,too, have lost a loved one the same day you lost yours. My grandmother passed away at the age of 99, and although it was expected, it was still very difficult. Still we are lucky to have our loved ones as long as we have, and must cherish the remaining ones. Condolences to you and yours on your huge loss.annienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8825290557185698676.post-44110743440293439432010-05-01T08:01:05.958-04:002010-05-01T08:01:05.958-04:00Hey Jane, this is a very loving and sweet post.
