Thanks Glen :p Um yeah, I just saw the weather channel...good luck in a couple days. I believe the word Nor'Easter was used...(I sincerely hope it's not that bad)

Guys, this bread is heavenly. If you aren't opposed to a little white flour, try it

Crusty Honey Wheat Bread
Combine wet ingredients in something you can heat up:
1 cup milk
1 cup water
1/2 cup honey
3 Tb. butter

Heat above ingredients to 120 degrees.

Add 1 egg, but temper it into the wet ingredients so ya don't scramble it!

Dry ingredients: *I mess around with the flour percentages alot*

4 - 4.5 cups of whole wheat flour
2- 2.5 cups white flour
1Tb. salt
2 packets of yeast, or equivalent amount (today I used 1 TB of instant yeast)
I usually add some vital gluten, especially for a higher amount of whole wheat

So then mix, knead, rise, shape, put in greased and floured pan, rise until doubled, bake. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes, turn down to 350 and bake another 30-35 minutes.

NOT Southern, Ca. :)
I'm glad Gleno posted the sunny pic. I didn't want to be the one to do it. :hide

I have been out in the garden. I planted 16 bell peppers and put down bark around the boxes.

I finished off by watering everything. Including my kids as they jumped and screamed on the trampoline.

Now they are picnicking in the sun with quesadillas and lemonade.

Come to my house we can make margaritas and spend the afternoon pulling weeds.

I wish I had a drinking smiley to stick here. ;)

Oh, and you can ohh and awww over my fuzzy turkey butts!!!!
