Well we may get snow tonight, doing a snow dance in my mind so that school will be cancelled tomorrow (O: Because of all the furor over President Obama's proposed gun control legislation I have been wondering again about how much television and video games may contribute to the issue. I have read that the brain can not distinguish between what is real and what is well visualized. If this is true it would stand to reason that if we partiicipate in imagined violence it might cause people who are already unstable more prone to act out in reality. I have to go chop cabbage, and various brightly colored produce to make a soup to have with homemade bread. Here is a simple no knead recipe:
2 C whole wheat flour
1C all purpose flour
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp yeast
1 3/4 C water
Mix all dry ingredients
add water and stir till mixed. Dough will be almost batter like. Add more water if too dry.
I have added various herbs to this recipe, cinamon, coconut, cranberries and molasses, try different combinations. You can also add a cup of oats or some other proofed (soaked in water) grain
After mixing I put the dough into greased loaf pans and let rise for 2 hrs in a warm place.
Preheat Oven to 350
You can brush top of bread with olive oil if you want and dust with corn meal.
bake for about 45 min. or ntil the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
THINK SNOW!
