“Graiiiiiiiiiinz!”
Sorry, vegan zombie joke. 
Anyway, last night was Earth Hour, and so at 8pm we shut off all the lights and non-essential electronics. Most of our complex went dark — there was only a single light on outside one house. My housemate flaked on the couch and read an ebook on his palm pilot. I lit a half dozen candles (mmmmm, beeswax) and spent some time looking through cookbooks. Paper cookbooks. (gasp!) Ultimately I found a bread recipe close to what I’ve been wanting, and started bread by candlelight.
Many hours later, after Earth Hour ended and we’d (eventually) put some lights back on, a very tired me pulled these out of the oven. The original recipe was for Mollie Katzen’s sunflower-millet bread from Enchanted Broccoli Forest (a Moosewood cookbook), but I veganized the recipe and converted it to a 12-grain loaf by the very simple expedient of substituting a multigrain cereal mixture for the millet. It’s hands-down the healthiest bread I’ve ever made, and also the best ’sandwich bread’ — it slices perfectly, and has a good, non-crumbly texture. Probably won’t last long. Half a loaf is on its way to a sick friend, and the other half is almost gone too. Good thing I made two loaves.

We celebrated earth-hour at an evenings “men’s dinner” event at church where the men decorated the upstairs hall with all colours Italian, and prepared a four course Italian meal. An auction of goods and services was held during earth hour which raised over $1,000 for the church, and we enjoyed our green salad, minestrone soup, choice of lasagna or meatless spagetti, and tiramisu.
Your bread looks delicious! Glad you found creative ways to enjoy the evening.
