lynne...no you have to stop...I am SO not super...if you only knew. I started making all our bread in 1977 or so...saw an article in a BH&G about a little boy that made and sold Challah from his wagon. I thought if this little Jewish boy could do this why not me ??? The first batch turned out so well I have kept it up and expanded to lots of other types. There are 100'a of pics on my photobucket food album. I have "taught" so many folks on GW over the years...it has been so rewarding. There are slideshows on the pb album too. Let me know if you are interested. The Wild Yeast is very different from " straight" doughs...those that use commercial yeast. it is a whole different concept. Would be glad to discuss with you via email off GW if you like...just send me a note. c

Nothing. We went out for lunch (Olive Garden) for the soup, salad and breadsticks. Used our last OG gift card from DD. I absolutely pigged out on breadsticks and salad, so I couldn't even finish my chicken gnocchi soup. Brought it home for DH to have for supper, 'cause I'm STILL full of bread!! It was delicous but I felt like I'd just had Thanksgiving.

No idea. Ole joyful's in Edmonton - about 0 degrees (that's 32 F.) ,.. but about 50 m p h wind, pilot said, but I haven't been outside yet. Edmonton airport information letting me use their computer - how's that for service ... and a lady offered me a stool on which to sit. Having dinner with sis in law, brother/wife and niece and nephew later today ... it's sis-in-law's 80th birthday. So have no idea what food'll be. Back giving a bit of trouble, but not much (after upwards of five-hour plane ride). Talked to doc yesterday, he gave me some exercises, I didn't figure need for pills. Talk later. ole joyful

I love the garden web community, it's so fun and helpful, thank you so much for playing on this thread! I'm loving every single shot. Everyone has such amazing views from iconic red barns to sweeping mountain views, I love it! Cook, whoa that's amazing. Chisue, I love your description, can you show us? Linelle, hehe. I'm with you, I can almost touch my neighbors, too. Do you get any pretty sunrises or sunsets out your windows? (You can see the neighbor's shed in the right corner of my cat window pic, but a cat improves any view.) I'm loving this, it's really really neat to wake up and see what everyone else is experiencing. It's a little bit like traveling. : ) Thanks!!!
