Stormy night....

No terrible warnings here just a severe thunderstorm which kept me up but was also great for reading in bed.  I finished a book; first in a series called The Constable on the Hill about the adventures of an English policeman in the rural countryside.  It was enjoyable but there are 36 in the series and I'm not sure I want to continue on with them.  So, because of the storm and the reading, I got a late start this morning. 
I did pay a bill and mailed it up at the mailbox in town. I went outside and was surprised to see one of my clematis blooming with lots more buds too!

I received some wonderfully illustrated cards from the art teacher and her offspring!
This was from Grayson.............
This was from Sam and he signed his name in cursive!  YAY!!!! I cannot believe they do not teach cursive anymore...next thing you know they'll stop teaching reading!
  and last but not least....a card from Amy....the original tiny drawings artist!  What joy to receive these!  Thank you, daughter and her offspring! LOL!
 This afternoon I made my first chia pudding.....I only made one, for now, to see how I like it but it seems to be popular.  It's 2 T of chia seeds to 1/2 cup of any kind of milk....I used almond.  1 t honey or sweetener of your choice.  Stir and let sit for 3 minutes and stir again.  Refrigerate overnight and in the morning put some fruit on top and there is your breakfast!  Chia is supposed to be very filling and healthy.  I cut up some kiwi and in the morning I will cut up a banana too.
 Here' s the milk bread recipe that some of you have asked for....this bread is easy to slice, wonderful toasted or plain...just a great all around white bread.

White Milk Bread or Rolls
-------------------------------------
You can make this as one loaf or shape into smaller rolls like hamburger buns or hot dog buns although I haven't tried that yet.  You can easily make and freeze for later.

Ingredients:
--------------
1 cup warm milk
2 1/4 t yeast
1 t honey
3 2/3 cup bread flour or regular which is what I had
1/2 t salt
1 egg lightly beaten
3 T butter, melted

Put the milk, yeast, and honey in a small bowl, and stir until the honey melts.  Leave it for about 10 minutes, or until it begins to froth a bit.  Put the flour and salt in your Kitchenaid bowl if you have one.  Add the yeast mixture, the egg, and butter and mix well with your mixer attachment.  Change to your dough hook and knead for 10 minutes or so.  Cover the bowl with a cloth and leave in a warm, draft-free place (I always sit it on top of my frig) for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until it has puffed up well.
Lightly grease a 12 x 4-inch loaf pan and dust it with flour.    Punch down the dough to flatten it and shape it into a rough loaf to fit the pan.  Cover with a cloth and leave in a warm place for another 45-60 minutes or until it puffs right up in the pan.  Preheat the oven to 375 F.  Put the pan in the oven for about 25 minutes or until the top is firm and crusty and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.  Remove the pan from the oven, knock the loaf out of the pan and cool it on a rack.
Makes 1 loaf or about 15 small rolls.

This recipe is from the cookbook Apples for Jam by Tessa Kiros 

Happy Trails!!!

  2. Thanks for the bread recipe. Do you really put it in a 12x4 pan? If so, I need a new pan. How sweet to get hand made cards from your grandsons and their mom. Glad you came through last nights storms unscathed.

  3. Hi Sam! I loved seeing all of your cards. You have a very talented famiily and I think the craftiness may have started with YOU! I made your Hawaiian Chicken yesterday and Dennis said it was a definite keeper. It was probably one of the easiest things I've ever made and it was so delicious. Thank you for that recipe and the bread. When my back lets me stand up straight for more than ten minutes I'll have to give it a try.
    I glad to know that none of the storms were severe in your area. It does look like some people got hit hard last night.
    I got my grocery order today. We will eat for awhile again. :-)
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    1. Well, I had my chia pudding this morning with kiwi and banana and I was not impressed. Maybe you'll like it but I didn't. Stay well!

  6. We finally got a good night's sleep last night...no getting up to unplug stuff and let in (or out) the dog. Your clematis is beautiful tonight. We are under freeze warnings for tonight so I may try covering mine.

  8. I was a HIV-AIDS patient and I got it from cheating on my wife. It was sort of a payback but a week later I was told by a friend that the person who I cheated with had the HIV-AIDS virus and did not tell me. I was so stupid by not using a condom I thought since he was an old school friend he was trustworthy. But I was wrong. I cried and cried. Two days later, I got a phone call from my friend and he told me about a person who is known by another friend, who can help me. I could not let my wife know what I was going through. I finally got his email address: oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com and I emailed this man my story and he replied me immediately saying i should be calm and told me that everything will be OK. I could not come to terms with what I was hearing but then I concluded it did not matter because I was so broken I just needed help. I was going out of my mind literally. I was confused with what he was telling me, but I listened. He told me about some materials i need to buy that he needed to cast the spell and I said OK. I bought the materials to him, I sent down my picture to him and my positive result sheet and he replied me that i am going to be negative under 3days. I message Him every 2hours for 2day and I knew he thought that I was crazy but I did care I needed a shoulder. Behold, the third day he messaged me i should go for a test that i will be negative. My marriage could be broken because of a stupid mistake and my life was on the line. I remembered when I was going to get the results of my re-test I called him up again and told him that I was going to get my results today and his reply was “so" and that everything will be as he explained. I knew then that he was getting tired of me calling him, maybe I was wrong. Well I got my results and the first person I called was him - again. As he said hello I started to cry and cry. I could not believe it. I was given a second chance in life.This man is a great spiritual HIV/AIDS healer, his healing spell on aids healing is very powerful .please brothers and sister, contact Dr Ose oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com
