French Bread I use French Bread to make garlic bread, and travel sandwiches. This recipe makes a light loaf that is just the right amount of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Here’s the menu plan for the week of 24 August 2009 for my family. For desserts, I had listed for the week an apple pie and a peach cobbler, but the apples on my apple tree do not look good at all. I haven’t picked one yet that doesn’t look like it’s been ravaged by birds or worms, and I saw nothing worth writing home about in the produce section at the grocery this weekend. SO – scratch apple pie and put in pumpkin pie. I harvested a pumpkin out of the garden that I need to cook and can, so I’ll leave out enough with which to make a pie. It’s Kaylee’s favorite and that will please her. I also have left over chocolate pudding cake. YUMMY!

This is the Whole Wheat Oatmeal Honey Bread that I make for my family for our daily use. It’s slightly sweet and light and the honey helps absorb and retain moisture, so it keeps these loaves fresh and moist. I love honey. I love cooking with honey in all extremes. I mean – how can you not love baklava? But in a less in-your-face nature’s sweet goodness, I love this bread recipe.

Scott helps me cook all the time. He’s very adept at putting premeasured ingredients into the mixer bowl, whisking eggs, holding a teaspoon while I pour vanilla into it, etc. The more I let him do, the better he gets at doing it. He’s become my right-hand man in the kitchen.

What I did, over weeks and months, was figure out what I cooked, what I served, and what I typically served with it. As I thought of it, I added it to a computer chart I made – and it’s still a work-in-progress.

So, I learned something new about pumpkins today. It cost me a lot of time and effort to learn it, but I guess it’s the lessons that cost you that stick with you
Nature vs Nurture. The arguments in that debate are that 1) boys and girls are taught to be different versus 2) boys and girls are simply different. It actually surprised me to learn that there was a debate about that… that there could be a debate about that.
White Chili, Chocolate Cake, & Faith Like Potatoes. My friends would arrive less than three hours from the time that I held the four frozen solid pieces of chicken. I plopped the meat in the big stock pot, covered them with water, and proceeded to make white chili.
