She had given me a wooden bowl for my wedding to make bread. However, about 2 years after I had bought my food processor, she bought one and then said, "I guess technology is good:-)" XOXOSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263263554924074661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236430084801008700.post-66076468748857171862012-08-22T08:30:57.505-07:002012-08-22T08:30:57.505-07:00It is pretty amazing since we only knew each other...It is pretty amazing since we only knew each other for two weeks!

My sister used to make it a long time ago, and it's one of my favorites. I use is for baked french toast with blueberries. It's actually really hard to find here, at least challah without raisins. And, that grain mill...Well, my friend, you're on your way now! Don't you love those days when you just have to keep baking and baking and baking?

I'm going to try corn next to grind for cornmeal; it looks like chili and soup is going to be a staple around here with the weather changing.<br /><br />Even for my birthday, I'd rather have an antique tea cup or one year, everyone gave me place settings to my favorite Transferware set. As far as jewerly goes, I only wear my wedding band and my Claddagh ring--I'm pretty simple.

We've talked about taking a trip to Portland, but not sure with our schedules if that will be possible in September. One year we went to Nantucket, but not until the end of October, which was great because we were there for the cranberry festival--just after they flooded the bogs. It was wonderful!
