So I went to cut my cats hair down, so he will be not so hot during the summer. This is how he looks.
He looks maybe funny, but we finally see what he really looks like and we see his body too 
But I paid a high price.
This red spot is only one of many injuries, which Michael did to me, when I was holding him… It huts like nothing before… I hardly can dress up, move the finger or even write this post…
So I will show you, that you do not have to have a garden to grow your own vegetables
And I give you a picture of sundown too
My and my boyfriend do not like to buy bread from the shop, because it is full of chemicals. And most of all, they do not sell real graham bread. So here it is how we make it.
Firstly we put 1kg of flower, one teaspoon of salt, one spoon of olive oil and about 100 grams of sunflower seeds into one bowl. On the picture there is garlic too.
Than we cook some potatoes.
In the meanwhile we put the yeast (here it is sold in for of a about 42 g cube and it looks like butter, so it is not dried) into about 200 ml of warm (!!!) milk and a spoon of sugar. The sugar gives energy to the yeast so it can rise. It takes about 10 to 15 minutes. You can aslo use two cubes, so the bread rises more.
When the potatoes are cooked, than you grate them into the bowl.
Than the yeast and now is the time, when you get dirty. You should mix it all together and when it is too dry, add some warm water into it. You should mix it until the bread do not stick to your hands. The bread should be not too wet, so it holds the form you give to it, but also should be not too dry, so it can rise.
When you made it, form a loaf. We make round loafs of bread and leave it for an hour to rise. We started to do that in our own way. We let the bread rise on the plate with baking paper, so we do not have to replace the bread and it will not fall down when we replace the bread from the bowl to the plate. The place where it should rise is a dark place, which is not too cold. Our oven has not window, so we place it there and when one hour is over (sometimes an hour is too much and the bread will fall, so you have to control it), this is the rising time, we just start it and bake it for one hour.
This is how our real graham bread looks like.
Than the next day we can eat fresh bread for breakfast.
