Joining Barbara in commemorating the year in once a week posts … just whatever is going on in your life: the mundane, the crazy, the normal, the everyday.
Been in a baking kick this past week. Every few months I get in a sourdough mood – I need to be home for at least two days in a row – and not stressed about other things! I was craving sourdough grilled cheese (with tomato soup) for lunch tomorrow. Ya need to start early with sourdough! And then, I’d always wanted to try Breadchick’s Sourdough Sweet Rolls with Butter Crème Frosting.
I cheated just a bit in the rising times and used a warmed oven to speed things along. Above is the rising, below is the done and ready to eat. Frosted with orange flavored butter crème frosting…MMMMMMmmmmmm.
Dash, Eric and Grandpa Green Acres started the wheat harvest today. Eric was disappointed with the yield on the winter wheat thus far, but the protein is super high. We have entered the Fall Lunch-Box season.
The oldest three boys and Eric headed into LaMoure for a haircut this morning. Louis had his haircut at home, via the in-house barber. Not too bad! Darn he’s cute!!
Angelina and I canned cherries on Thursday. They turned out OK; I think there are at least two jars she’ll be able to exhibit for 4-H (might need the Grandmas to pre-judge!). Some skins split, even though we pricked each with a pin … guess we’ll have to use something bigger to do the pricking next time. And then, some floated up and are touching the seal; big no-no for showing/exhibiting. Neither of these problems affect the taste of the cherries, thank goodness.
never have seen canned cherries...wow! so pretty!!
