It's another cloudy and cool day. Good day to bake something and I decided to make a focaccia.
The dough is in the breadmaker and if all goes well I'll have it hot out of the oven in time for supper. It will look like this one ( picture from the internet) except if that's Rosemary on top I'll leave that off. I grow it but we're not fond of the pine taste.
In the sunroom the yellow Thanksgiving Cactus is blooming. I think I've established that it not a Christmas Cactus as I thought.
That's it for today. Thanks for visiting,
Oh bread my favorite !

That bread looks fantastic. I haven't made bread in years. I miss my Christmas cactus. It didn't survive the cross country move, but all of my other plants did. Yours is beautiful.

I LOVE focaccia bread, especially with fresh rosemary. Your yellow Thanksgiving cactus is so pretty and unique. My flowering pink one just finished blooming.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea there were the three different types of cactus.
ReplyDeleteFocaccia is something I've never made. I will have to give it a try one day. Thank you for the very helpful information about how to identify which type of cactus is which. I just put out a post labeling mine as a Christmas cactus, but going by the information here, I now realize that it's a Thanksgiving cactus. It makes total sense because it always blooms in November rather than December. Your yellow one is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the taste of Rosemary - too much like eating evergreen needles! Thanks for the picture identifying the different leaves - I went to check my plants and they are Thanksgiving cacti.

My Thanksgiving cacti are blooming too. Bread warm from the oven sounds wonderful.
ReplyDeleteOh thanks for that picture. I now know I have a Thanksgiving cactus. Liz gave it to me last year and it is just starting to bloom!!
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is warm from the baking oven in these cold and grey days. The cactus is an "Advent-cactus" telling: Soon it will be Christmas! Time is running somehow too fast...
ReplyDeleteFocaccia is delicious!
ReplyDeleteI really didn’t know the differences in the cactuses. My grandmother loved red so she had the Christmas cactus. Focaccia is new to me but it looks like something I would like to try. Hilltop Post
ReplyDeleteI just call them all Christmas Cactus...interesting the differences!
ReplyDeleteI was completely unaware that there were three distinct kinds of cactus until just now. my fave kind of bread
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of making focaccia this weekend as well! Only I put EXTRA rosemary on mine :)
ReplyDelete- Sheila
Enjoy your focaccia .... yum!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I've been thinking about focaccia for a few weeks - I made it several times in the past, and it was SO good -- but it's been a very long time!

Your bread looks so yummy. And now you've made me hungry. I didn't realize the cactus were different. Good to know.
ReplyDeleteI am sure your bread will be delish — my daughter made a focaccia a couple of weeks ago and it was marvelous. After seeing all the gorgeous pictures of the cacti, I need to get one!
ReplyDeleteFocaccia is very good. My parents had a cactus like yours with many many flowers.
ReplyDeleteI had to look at my cactus, and found that it is a Thanksgiving cactus. It is called November cactus in Norway since we don't celebrate Thanksgiving. It has buds now, and will soon be blooming. I got it as a gift the last time I was hosting the Christian womens group in our old house before moving two years ago. They wanted to give me something that I could bring on to our new home.
