Sheesh. That’s “or ADD the corn syrup.” Sheesh.

Even requested the bread machine as a wedding gift from my mom's family in place of the traditional Kitchen Aid. We used it a bunch, but now just once in a while. In case bread baking is something that you would like to get off of your to-do list, or maybe move it to the occasional column, I found I good bread that is made with whole wheat and has no corn syrup or it's evil cousin, high fructose corn syrup. And if you are lucky like us and have a Trader Joe's to shop at you can get it for around $2 instead of $4. It is Milton's Whole Grain Plus (the red label Milton's). I found <a href="http://www.miltonsbaking.com/ProductInfo.aspx?productid=102" rel="nofollow">a picture of it on their website</a> if you want to see it. All the other versions of Milton's that I've found in our stores either use enriched flour or and the corn syrup. I so so wanted to do the homemade bread thing.

I'm working on that consulting part because I am in need of sense in a bad way.

I can remember my Mom making wheat bread out of wheat berries and a wheat grinder... I was the only little girl at school who was eating a sack lunch containing a three inch sandwich made out of two thick, dusty brown mattresses, uh, whole wheat bread. She used to wrap it in foil because nothing else would hold it together. Ever seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? I felt just like her and LONGED for a soft, Wonder Bread sandwich in a little baggie... ~Heather My family was super-devout priesthood/Relief Society/food storage/temple Mormons until I was about 12.

Unfortunately for me (and for you if it's genetic) it's a lesson I have had to learn over and over again in my life. I think I've got it down and then something else comes up that "seems like a good idea at the time". Will I ever finish that degree? Those 7 quilts I'm working on? The 20 years of scrapbooking? Your guess is as good as mine. I'm just trying to take it one day at a time. That is a great lesson to learn.

After all we live in the 21st century. If I make bread I first plug in the bread maker, put the box of bread mix close the lid push the button. By doing this I can then push the button on the robot vacume cleaner so the floor gets cleaned. The only thing I know about canning is to accept canned stuff when it's offered, but never try it at home. From Walmart I need everything for my soon to be born baby. Never forget to stop and smell the flowers. Making bread should be easy. After all we live in the 21st century.

My house was a wreck, but the church looked magical - for one week. I looked around and realized I was putting all my efforts into GOOD and FUN things that would not last and I made a commitment to start fresh August 1st putting my effort into my home and family first. I have already reaped incredible benefits and I'm learning daily the rich rewards of slowing down and being fully available to my family. I'm still tempted daily by other good and fun things (school scrapbook!! church garage sale!! women's tea!!) - but each time I say no I grow a little stronger. Have you told your neighbor how many families she has richly blessed by her comment? Bless her! I learned this lesson last spring while making VBS decorations.

And taking one look at your stove top and hearing about the sticky floors reminds me why I didn't make jam this year. Although . . .I bet it would go well with your bread. Maybe next year!
