Bread Making

I got to volunteer at the School today for a "Bread in a Bag" Project for the 4th grade. A lady comes and talks about Farming in ND and teaches the kids to make Bread in a Bag. It was fun to spend time with Liberty & her friends one last time before the year ends. 10 more days! Can you believe it?
Liberty's bread turned out amazing! We had it with some of our home-made strawberry jam for dinner! Delicious!
Funny little the Mormon saves the Day story-
I got there early to help set up things. There were 2 ladies in charge telling the parent helpers what to do. The 2nd lady asked the Main lady where she wanted to set up the wheat grinding stuff. [That way the kids get to see first hand how the wheat they were going to talk about gets from the field to their bread- a once in a lifetime experience for some of the kids] The Main lady said she had run out of wheat so they were NOT going to do it this time. Well... "I have wheat," I said. She was a bit surprised but said she hadn't brought the grinder. Well.... "I have a grinder," I said. I actually have a hand grinder and an electric grinder- which one do you prefer? She asked where I live and one of the other moms who knows me said "like one minute away". Well... OK then. So, I quickly ran home to raid my food storage. I grabbed both grinders and one of my 5 gallon buckets of wheat. Back at the school, people were amazed at how much wheat I had. I didn't dare tell them I have like 20 to 30 times that much at home- (Mormon food storage to the rescue). LOL! So by some random turn of events, I got put in charge of showing the Westside 4th graders how to grind wheat. Too funny! Oh the joys of unexpected opportunities to share my food storage with others! I love it!
