      I'll amend my comment to state that our country would not have been a contributor with other countries to ending the Second World War if people had not been willing to sacrifice for the greater good.

        It's the 230 years of history of the company. Let's face it, that "wheat crown" is cartoonish.

          Our country would never have won World War II this way.

            Yes, but one right after the other?

              Hmm. Two of these page problems in a row in the same thread?

                And once again, a page that won't let us access the rest of the thread until there is another post.

                Interesting--it was not allowing access to the previous pages, so I posted, but then it went to the past pages, and I had to post again to get the rest of the thread.

                  What about waxed paper?

                    Before I try sweet rolls, I think that I will try just plain rolls. That will give me an idea of how large each will get.

                      I made another batch of yogurt on Monday.

                        I saw another storage suggestion: wrap in paper or a towel.

                          Cass tried to post information for me to help with the blueberry Bundt Cake, but he suffered the "disappearing post" syndrome that others of us have experienced. Sigh.

                          He did email me and tell me to reduce the buttermilk by half, from 1 1/2 to 3/4 cup and reduce the baking soda from 1 tsp. to 1/2 tsp.

                          I will give it another try after we finish the current one and report back.

                            I missed it also--mislead by the re-labeling from the farmers market folks. Apparently people think that scallions are more trendy than green onions.

                              Our county public health department issued a mask order on Friday which begins on Monday.

                                Our temperatures were only in the low 80s, and then we were on the outskirts of a storm, which while it gave us very little rain, it did cool down to the 70s. I was glad because pizza was on the menu.

                                I made sourdough pan pizza for Sunday dinner. I experimented and replaced another ¼ cup of the AP flour with dark rye, for a total of ¾ cup rye. I needed to add an additional tsp. of water as it kneaded in the bread machine. It is ok, but not quite as light as the combination I have been using, so I’ll go back to it next time. My husband requested browned ground turkey as the meat. I used the 8 oz. of sauce that I made a few weeks back and froze and low-fat mozzarella. For vegetables, I added mushrooms, sliced onions, and halved black olives on my part. I did not add any additional spices, and I found the result bland, although my husband liked it. With ground turkey, I like some Tuscan seasoning and fennel, so next time, I will add it on my side. I did coarse grating on the Parmesan rather than the finer grating. I think it melts better with finer grating.

                                  On Sunday, I made jam with the black raspberries that I was able to pick. Due to the drought, it was not a great year, and I only had about 3 cups from our terrace and a few from the woodlands. I seeded the half cup of blackberries that I so far have picked on the terrace and added that fruit to the crushed black raspberries. The jam yield was two 8 oz. jars and one 4 oz., with about 2 Tbs. left for us to sample. Usually, I would have enough for an additional 8 oz. jar. I heard all three jars seal, so I should be able to store these away for winter. We are still finishing jam from two years ago (both peach and black raspberry), and I have three jars from last year when house renovation limited my output.

                                  The rain has passed us by, so far, except for very light showers, but the humidity in the air should help the blackberries, and I may be able to pick additional blackberries in our woods.
