I Made Bread!… and WWAT Days # 56 & 57

That is white/wheat bread. It is mostly white all purpose flour but it has some white whole wheat flour as well. It turned out bee-you-tee-ful! And tastes scrumptious! It was made with Red Star yeast and honey instead of sugar. It’s so nice when a loaf of bread turns out so well…feels good And for me, it’s been awhile.

I’m also working on the sourdough starter. Here’s a photo or two of it two days ago and now:

    

I’m itching to use it! But it has at least one more day. It finally is smelling sour and not just nasty

Made beans for dinner. And since I’m in the photo taking/sharing mood here’s a photo of them before being cooked (I think beans in water are pretty )

…and after…What a difference! (not so pretty but sure tastes yummy! )

I might add that I used spare chicken..uh, parts..(which I had to carefully strain out before serving –should have made the broth before the beans- note to self!) for flavoring the ‘broth’ and also a can of chicken broth, a good dump of garlic powder, some salt and Italian Seasoning…and a cup or so of precooked rice (added the last 20 minutes of cooking). Oh! and cut up baby carrots.

And now onto what was done for school today… The kids worked almost entirely on their own. There were narrations and “Mom help me with this please” a couple of times but mostly it was all independent.

And you know, I’ve no idea what day of school today is! I mark off each day on a chart that I have but I second guess myself all the time. I keep thinking it’s less than it is but count it to farther than we’ve gone. At some point I might actually count it all…not right now. So on to it-
