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!

Katrina and Sandy-White or Black doesn't matter in a disaster

It is several weeks since Hurricane Sandy hit the east coast of the United States and as with Katrina I see the exact same problems only this time the president is black and the suffers are predominately white. As with Katrina I do not think color of skin has to do with the inability of the federal government to lend aid to those suffering. I have looked back at different disasters that I had firsthand knowledge of and find that the solutions are in the hands of the people who are suffering and those around them who are willing to help. When I lived in Nevada a freak storm flooded areas that were not in the flood plan, I witnessed scores of people from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints come out to help their neighbors regardless of church affiliation. They assisted in moving out the furniture, and pulling down the sheet-rock and insulation and cleaning out mud from homes. This still left individuals with huge debt and garbage out in the streets for weeks and in some cases months. You will hear things like the new normal because nothing will ever be the same. The largest change will be in the individuals. There are many lesson’s learned. The people who because they love their fellow man work tirelessly to help; how heroic people really are, for the first time in your life you recognize the hero who lives next door. You also live with undaunting fear, you realize the government does and will fail you at every corner, the president shows up for a photo opportunity and leaves-not his neighborhood after all.

We are in a severe weather cycle. Lulled to sleep the years 1950-2000 which had relative calm weather experiences. We are living in an increased earthquake cycle. The magnetic north pole is moving from Canada to Russian and the planet wobble has increased. Meteor showers fall from outer space. Global warming doesn't begin to touch what is going on.  It is time we to look to our survival and drop all the blame games and learn to live with the least amount of personal damage and with the best possible outcomes.  

It is time to think about being self sustaining, so each neighborhood has the ability to stand alone and live well.
