14 Grain Bread
Here is my 14 Grain Bread loaf recipe that I make using my Bosch. It makes 5 loaves and is very good and light (even though ww is used). From mixing ingredients to taking the bread out of the oven, about 1- 1 1/2 hours is needed. 14 Grain Bread In Bosch mixer bowl with dough hook place: 6 cups warm water (approx. 115 degrees) 2/3 cup canola oil 2/3 cup honey 2T sea salt 3T vital wheat gluten 3T active yeast 8-10 cups fresh ground flour 2 cups nine grain cracked cereal 1 cup sunflower seeds 1/3 cup millet 1/3 cup flax seed 1/3 cup sesame seed 1/3 cup amaranth Step 1: Use…

Shhh! Don't Be Noisy – People Are Still Sleeping
Having wood floors in our house causes every sound to be magnified. So, not wanting to wake up anybody this morning, I thought to take off my shoes as I went down the hallway. One shoe slipped off with a thud. My other foot landed on top of the cast- off shoe causing me to lose my balance and making more noise. A minute later I heard a little voice (Audrey) saying, "Mommy?", signalling the beginning of another day in Timbuck2.

What A Week!
I wonder if Doug Phillips imagined just how much time the Jamestown 400 Treasure Hunt would take. The hunt ends on Tuesday for which my family will be very thankful. I’m feeling rather tired after going to bed late and getting up early to try and work on clues. This past weekend we had a family visiting whose 11yo son wanted to take a ride on one of our horses. He hasn’t rode much. For some reason, the horse came to a stop from a trot right in the middle of the road (we think it’s because he was laying on the horses head). The boy went flying over its head and hit hard. …

Birthday Time for Justus
Look who turned 4 this week! This is the boy who locked himself in the church bathroom and couldn’t get out, and another time when he was procrastinating eating his broccoli, received a phone call that caused him to eat it up. During my recent trip to Pennsylvania, when he stayed home with his daddy and brothers, Russell came upstairs one day to find him with 2 eggs on the counter and the frying pan heating up. Having no mother around to take care of him I guess it was a matter of survival. He’s a fun little guy. I’m already thinking of how, not too long from now, I’ll be teaching him…
