Saturday, June 20

well we got a nice amount of rain last night, and I'm hoping the local farmers market is in business this morning, I want to go buy honey from the honey guy. I've been more and more on a local food kick, when cost is not prohibitive. I'm afraid someday soon local will be all we can get.

Today I also want to try out an antique grinder I have in the shed on wheat. If it works, I can put off buying a real grinder for a while longer, although one of those delicious motorized or hand crankable ones that you can get for 500 dollars really turns me on! Its amazing.. I'm old now, and I find myself getting excited by lush gardens and wheat grinders. Too funny!

Little side note, I tried the crockpot wheat bread with my big crockpot, with no flax.. and TOTAL FAIL. Stick to small loaves and the flax seed is important for soaking up moisture. I'm going to monkey with that recipe more for larger sizes, so watch for that if you are a whole wheatie.
