Recipes

Wow, this website is full of great recipes. They aren't kidding when they call some of them no fail. I love the sandwich and toasting bread.

I hope to be up and baking soon.

Where have I been?

I was sick (cold).

I was better (for about three days).

I am sick (virus with flu like symptoms that is not the flu, according to the doctor).

I win

Today at our Fall Fest at church I won the prize. The prize I didn't want. The volunteers names were put into a drawing to throw a pie in the face of one of our ministers. I didn't want to win this prize. So, of course mine was the name drawn. Thankfully, since I have terrible aim--I was able to just go up and push it in his face with out throwing.

Cold (or the like)

I have been visited by some cold (or some sort) of germs. They have left a stuffy head, running nose, sneezy, rather grumpy person. Sadly, that person is me.

In working on a final touch to Delaney's Hermione costume--the hot glue gun broke. I heard the trigger plastic snap. I figure that is not a good sound. Happily, it was on the final squirt of hot glue. No made dash to a craft store is necessary.

Back to my squeezing and blowing (ugh).

Favorite Kind of Places

After work this afternoon, I stopped at the library. Where I placed a new book on hold, that I have been wanting to read desperately. It was at another branch of the library.

I stopeed at a thrift store, my favorite The Hanger, and found a huge stack of Mailbox Magazines. Some were even Preschool/Kindergarten editions. I chose 8 of the Preschool ones. I had found a Weight Watchers newer cookbook. Grand total for all of those things was $1.

All of this makes up my kind of good time.

Experiment with Corn

Here is the finished product. It is delicious. From seeds planted in June to cornbread in October. Can't get much fresher than that.




Here are the kernels in the mill. It ground them powder fine easily. One ear of corn produced about two and a half cups of cornmeal--or enough for two pans of my cornbread recipe.




Here is my new toy. My nutrimill came last Friday, but in the whirlwind of life, I haven't had time to use it until yesterday. Now, I am wondering what else I can grind.

Field Corn

My dad is coming to visit. He has a friend who let him get corn from his field. He told me he is bringing me 150 ears. I am curious if I can grind it into corn meal. From what I have been reading online, I can.
