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).


* 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.....

* 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'm in full bread making mode these days.  It all started with deciding to finally produce an excellent whole wheat sourdough.  It's escalated into a full blown whole grain obsession.  

A couple of weeks ago I ordered two books (Flour Power and one I can't remember the exact title of off the top of my head) justifying my purchase as "it will be my birthday present".  Wouldn't you know they showed up on my birthday (yesterday)!  Weird huh?

I'm going to buy a grain mill (pretty sure it will be the Grainmaker Grinder).  it's going to cost about $300 with shipping for the one I want, so I'll need to set aside money until I can get it.  With this grinder I can grind everything including soybeans and corn.

I made a Sourdough Rye with one of the starters I'm working on.  Bread rise and texture good - tastes good too, but not "sour" enough yet.  Maybe another week and I will try using the starter again.
