      Had some fresh Oyster Stew tonight ,pricey but good!20.60 for a pint.We both had 2 bowls and sent one to my sis that lives by us.The oysters were real small like we like them for stew.Fish market man said they are having a hard time getting fish etc.because of storms.

        Thanks Mike, the only thing different was the flour was bleached.

          Baked 2 small loaves of Banana nut bread yesterday.Last night I made a loaf of KA sandwich bread but subbed a cup of wheat and it was so good.I think it's the best bread I've ever made.Rose up one and a half inch over my 9x5 pan and rose more in the oven.Very light crumb.I slipped it into a used bread bag after it cooled last night and I had to work to get it to fit.My husband only eats Natures Own Honey Wheat and that's what this tastes like.I had some this morning and was happy.My husband doesn't care for bread much that's why I give so much away.I just like doing it.Now let me tell you about my pie crusts I made today.Made them just like always but when I cut in the shortening it was just like a clump of lard,I use Crisco and it was fresh but it would not crumble up in pea size pieces.Finally added in a little more flour and divided up and wrapped to chill for an apple pie.Tried rolling out one crust had the biggest damn mess you ever saw.Trashed one crust then I remembered how BakerAunt rolls hers in between wax paper and Saran wrap and that's the way I finally got the crust in the pan.Pie is baked I made with Honey crisp apples and it looks OK,it broke in a few places when it baked but if it tastes ok that's all that matters.

                    I tried the half white half wheat sourdough this morning toasted and it's what I was looking for.I use to like the sourdough bread from Cracker Barrel and it tastes just like it,happy!

                            Baked two more loaves of the sourdough this morning and it's so much better than the last.The starter really is right now.After overnight rise I kneaded it and placed in loaf pans it only took 2 hours to rise above the pans and the crumb was so much better,not as heavy.Happy here!

                              I baked 2 loaves of sourdough bread yesterday ,first in a long while.A recipe I got from all.recipes.com.Sourdough 1 by Becky Richardson.I make the dough up one night and let rise overnight,knead the next morning then let rise and bake.It's always been a good one for me and I have made it with half wheat flour before.It makes 2- 8x4 inch pan.It was so good this morning toasted with jam.
