The weather was crummy Sunday, so I stayed in and played around in the kitchen.

* First I made bread.  One regular Whole Wheat loaf (with random spices) and one I made with dehydrated collard greens (I know, it doesn't sound appetizing, but I have a lot of collard greens I dehydrated from the garden - and they don't taste so good in green smoothies).

Dough after 3rd rise just before going in the oven.

Collard Green bread (I'm pre-slicing it before freezing it).

* Then I made bean&veggie calzones to freeze for lunches.  I put dried Romaine powder in the dough so it's green.  It tasted good, but next time maybe a little less Romaine.....

Here is the dough after the 1st rise

Filling without the beans added.  It has Carrots, Spring Onions, and garlic.

Filling after adding the beans (white beans cooked and run through food processor once)

Making a Calzone


Calzones (and bread) just after coming out of the oven.

* I also hung the Wallpaper border I bought well over a year ago.  I paid $1.50 per roll - 4 rolls did the whole room.  Pretty cheap, and it's very retro (tacky) looking.  I love it!!  (Putting up wallpaper borders by yourself isn't easy)


* I watched AFTERMATH: POPULATION ZERO last night.  It made me feel bad.  I wanted us all to get the heck off this poor planet and let it breathe again.  I also thought the long haired cows were cool.

* Finally - here is the inside workings of the soymilk maker for Sahlah

I make artisan style bread too. I make it in pans when I wan't to slice it for sandwiches. I've owned bread machines in the past, but I always manage to break them. When mine did work they came out with pretty good bread. Mine were Zojirushi's - that was years ago though. There may be another best brand out there (check Amazon.com and read the reader comments on the different models).
