Makin' a Collage
The bottom one sticking out is the trunk 'cause, of course, it's a tree. Made especially for her Daddy.
I love this little child.

A Most Excellent Whole Wheat Bread Recipe
All the ingredients gathered.
This recipe is for a large loaf made in a machine taking a 4 cup flour measure. (Mine is an older model Zojirushi)
Put into machine in this order (or as your machine instructs)
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/3 tbs. vegetable oil
1/4 cup honey (raw honey is especially good but regular clover is fine)
1/2 tsp. salt
4 cups whole wheat flour (see note below)
6 tbs gluten
yeast 1 packet (or 3 tsp. if you use the jar kind)
Note: you may also use whole wheat bread flour (4 cups) but leave out the gluten. Gluten, when combined with the yeast, helps to give a higher rise so is used with flours with low gluten content.
Bake on a regular white cycle according to your machine instructions. (If you have a whole grain setting, use that. I use the white cycle and it comes out perfect!)
And approximately 4 hours later:Mmmmm -- enjoy! Nothing better than freshly baked bread!

Litter Box Nap
Cats are nuts! Granted, it's a cleaned litter box with brand new litter, but PUH-LEEZE, wouldn't the soft, nicely folded, newly washed towel on the window sill be that much more comfy?
Maybe because it's in a different, temporary location while I'm cleaning the laundry room?
Of course, nobody ever said Sam was the bright one...

Scrambled Eggs
These are the ingredients -- you gotta use REAL butter! No substitutes for us.
Here's all that yummy butteriness melting in our (his) new skillet. ("free" from the grocery store :)
OK,
washer (and kitchenhand, in charge of chopping and peeling!)
Next, mix it all up and add MORE butter.
