A plain loaf...but the texture is super soft and surprisingly very flavourful...it can be eaten on it's own. The bread remains soft the next day! Recipe is posted here.
Also known as Wren-Warbler (Prinia inornata) is a small warbler in the cisticola family. Like most warblers, the Plain Prinia is insectivorous. The song is a repetitive tlee-tlee-tlee....

Plains is a city in Sumter County, Georgia, United States. The population was 776 at the 2010 census. Plains remained a quiet Southern town until Jimmy Carter rose to political prominence in the 1970s. Former President Jimmy Carter was born in Plains at the Wise Sanitarium[11] (now renamed the Lillian G. Carter Nursing Center, in honor of his mother.) His wife Rosalynn Carter, his daughter Amy Carter, his younger brother Billy Carter, his younger sister, Ruth Carter Stapleton, and first cousin Hugh Carter were also born in Plains. The former president and his wife still live there.

The Eastern Plains are part of the High Plains, which are the westernmost portion of the Great Plains. The region is characterized mostly by rolling plains, divided by the South Platte River and Arkansas River valleys. There are also several deciduous forests and a few large natural lakes and rivers throughout the region. There are also scattered canyons, buttes, and mesas on the high plains, much different than the plains further east into the Midwest. The Eastern Plains rise from approximately 3,500 feet at the eastern border of Colorado with Kansas, where the Arkansas River leaves the state, to 6,000 feet east of the Denver Basin.

學 名: Dicaeum concolor
英 名: Plain Flowerpecker
Length: 8 cm 啄花鳥科
綠啄花於樹冠上、或喬木上的寄生植物間覓食，行為模式與習性類似紅胸啄花鳥。繁殖期為4～6月，鳥巢似梨形，巢口位於巢的中部，以松針、植物纖維和蜘蛛絲等為材料。
台灣的兩種啄花鳥皆為留鳥，值得一提的是，紅胸啄花鳥和綠啄花鳥體型分別是台灣鳥類中最小的第二名和第一名（紅胸啄花鳥約9公分；綠啄花鳥約8公分）。紅胸啄花鳥主要分佈在中海拔山區，常出現在高高的樹冠層；而綠啄花鳥主要分佈在低海拔的闊葉林，較常降至低矮的植被層活動。此兩種鳥皆與植物桑寄生有特殊的互利共生關係，喜食桑寄生的果子。
The Plain Flowerpecker (Dicaeum concolor in the wider sense) is a tiny bird in the flowerpecker family. Like others of the group, it feeds predominantly on nectar and fruits. They forage within the canopy of forests and are found distributed across South and Southeast Asia. They are non-migratory and the widespread distribution range includes several populations that are non-overlapping and morphologically distinct, some of which are recognized as full species. They are important pollinators and dispersers of mistletoes in forests.

“The Fruited Plain”
“O' beautiful, for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain,
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!”
--Katherine Lee Bates, “America the Beautiful”
During this time of historic change in our nation, I am filled with hope for my future as an artist and a citizen. I was inspired by my hope to create this artwork, The Fruited Plain. Our country is a place of abundance; we are blessed with fertile soil, fertile hearts, and fertile minds. I believe that in the coming days and years we will be inspired to work together to harvest this bounty for the benefit of us all.
My work with sheets grew out of my thinking about my mother’s efforts at maintaining aesthetic order in her home—even if the rest of the house is a wreck, she wants her linen closet to be beautiful when she opens the door. Similarly, I construct formal arrangements from bed linens, particularly sheets and pillowcases. I fold and pile these sheets on simple shelves or chairs, as well as on and around the significant or quirky architectural features of an exhibition space. I think of these folding and stacking activities as akin to creating paintings with brush and canvas. The interactions among color combinations, printed patterns, and folding systems become visually engrossing and reference abstract or minimalist paintings.
However, because I am using these non-traditional materials that are so intimately connected with human bodies, the works are also infused with the memories and habits of their previous owners. But since these previous owners are strangers, there is no great-aunt or grandmother to tell me the story associated with the object. These histories are lost, so the sheets become material for pieced together, re-imagined histories, including the narrative of my own processes of folding, stacking, and layering. Whether piled in the awkward corners of a room or layered on a shelf, the sheets are reminders of a variety of human activities: sleeping, dreaming, housekeeping, lovemaking, birthing, dying, etc. They offer us a glimpse into the linen closets of other people and other times and remind us of our own experiences in the comforting confines of bed.
