May. 5, 2008 My Bread Boo-Boo...
This post is for the two people who still read my blog (thanks Mom and Dad). I have been "missing-in-action" for a long time. Sorry! I have many posts written in my head, but the time never presents itself to get them to computer! I have been spending quite a bit of time studying health and nutrition. I will have to write that blog later.
This was a very important post which I could not wait a moment longer to write. Most of my friends think that I am the "all-powerful, Master Baker". I needed to post this picture today to document that, yes, I too have my fair share of flops!!
This is what you call a major lack of gluten development! It looked pretty from the outside but the inside decided it would make a better pipe than a loaf of bread. My little guy was not impressed when I gave him his bread with homemade peanut butter for lunch.
Bread disasters can happen anywhere, anytime. You never see them coming (well, sometimes you do). Don't give up! One day, you too will be a "Master Baker" like ME!!

Apr. 28, 2008 Postage Stamp
It happened again! I bought postage stamps in a roll of 100. Did anyone tell me that they were going up??? NNNNOOO! The last time I bought a roll of 100 is the last time postage went up. Did anyone tell me they were going up then? NNNOOOO!!! Is it a conspiracy to get people to buy their stock of under-priced stamps?? Next time I buy a roll of 100, I will be asking if the price is going up first!! |

Apr. 7, 2008 Dehydrating Strawberries
We bought some strawberries this weekend. They were big and beautiful, not to mention delicious! We ate almost half the one basket on the way home, cut up the other half for pancakes last night and now I am dehydrating the rest. I have been in search of dried strawberries for some time. The dried fruits in the store are usually full of preservatives and I just want the natural fruit for granola and muffins.
These turned out wonderfully!
Now the question is, will my children stop eating the "strawberry chips" long enough for me to use them in something??? I am needing to make a trip to the local strawberry farm soon. I cannot wait to dehydrate blueberries!!
Check out this website for more tips on dehydrating.

Mar. 31, 2008 Where's The Beef???
Mar. 24, 2008 The Sick House...
If anyone ever tells you that pneumonia is not contagious...trust your better judgment! My Darling Daughter Number Two caught pneumonia and was treated for viral/bacterial pneumonia. Of course, that is not what she had, so she was then put on a second round of antibiotics (the ones that were going to treat her mycoplasma pneumonia). (Note the link: spreads easily in situations where people congregate)
Yay, the right drug for the job, but not before the rest of us got sick!! Darling Daughter Number One and Number Three and I were treated for the same thing last Friday. My Darling Son Number Two (my five year old baby) was taken to the doctor on Saturday morning and put on the Z-pak (drug of choice for the fourth time). This morning, My Wonderful Husband and Darling Son Number One went to the doctor and are being treated for ear infection and URI. All treated with the same drug of choice. You gotta love that Z-Pak!
I have to say, it has worked quickly. I finish tomorrow and am feeling great. We are LOADING up the probiotics. Let me just tell you, you have to get the book! My family is proof that they work. I will not go into detail, but trust me. You at least need to start your own research.
As a little side note: I realized half way through today, I have been telling everyone my Darling Son Number One is six. Of course, two of my Darling Daughters realized that and corrected me. How bad am I? I actually said they were wrong. I'll just chalk it up to not being fully recovered  |

Mar. 13, 2008 The Probiotics Revolution
I am currently reading:
I was going to write a review on the book because it is so great when I ran across the blog Corganic. This blog author did a great job reviewing the book and added a bit of his own to the review so I figured you would get far more from his review than mine could give. So head on over to Corganic and check out the review.
I will tell you that since my daughter is sick and taking antibiotics, I started her on a probiotic supplement. I started her low because it was an adult dose and she is eleven. By Sunday, her stomach was starting to "twist" on her. I increased the probiotic and started stirring it into her yogurt. The stomach twisting is gone and she has felt fine ever since. It is so amazing how God brings the right tools at the right time.
Take the time to read this book. It is a must for any family that desires to live a healthy life!
