I have just had some of the best bread ever! My friends at Stick and Stone Brick Oven Bakery have been baking bread and since I make my own sour dough bread (San Franciscan type) I am rather self satisfied. My second love in bread is a good Rye, not one that is dipped in Molasses but one that is lighter, grainier and with caraway seeds....I found it! Great taste and texture and the smell is divine! Contact David and Sarah Evans Bryan at the Stick & Stone Brick Oven Bakery, they are on face book in Fort Calhoun!

SOUR DOUGH BREAD

Okay, it would have been rude to not show you at least three fourths of the finished bread! We sliced one of these mini loaves and had some with home made soup for dinner. We just can not resist this fresh bread just out of the oven! These three loaves will take us two more weeks to finish!

SOUR DOUGH

Okay this about 12 ounces of dough, or 1/4 of the sour dough. I roll this around to work out all the bubbles set it on corn meal and squish it a little so it has a full bottom of corn meal to rest on while it raises and cooks. I will be back when I am close to baking.

THE JOY OF BAKING SOUR DOUGH

Yesterday I began making sour dough bread. Curious as this statement is I use a two day process to create the most delicious San Francisco style sour dough. My sour dough is the King Arthur 250 year old starter. It is available to purchase I picked up the crock and the starter several years ago and periodically make bread to share with others. This week my victims will be my neighbors, I have two picked out to torture! I'll post pictures later today.

HELP NAME A WEB PAGE

Yesterday my friend Diane and I determined we need to open a web page on natural living or living naturally. This would be a collection of information on good health and natural health, information our grandmothers used to survive the world prior to extreme chemistry where everything comes from the lab. We have a whole host of animals that can no longer survive without veterinarian intervention. Yet the deer, elk, wild buffalo and the like survive well with out intervention. So our quest will be looking at food, looking at natural remedies baring in mind that our greatest health benefit came with the wide spread use of soap to clean things with.  Our issue is we need a name for our site...any suggestions?

GARDENING WARS BEGIN

Greetings, The holiday season is memory and the political group is heating up. This is the 3rd year that Congress ruined my holiday. I hold Harry Reid personally responsible. Harry had the fiscal cliff bill in August and sat on it until the week between Christmas and New Years.The house sent him a bill he ignored until the week between Christmas and New Years so instead of watching Christmas specials we were glued to C-Span watching all the nonsense we saw RINO's help the Democrats and the President increase our taxes and hold on to your hat Obama Care taxes are beginning to kick in as well. All those Rich people they taxed, well this was only a smoke screen so we didn't feel so bad, they got taxed too!  Everyone should just feel screwed! What if they levied a tax and we refused to pay!
