RE: I love Broadway- SAM CHALLENGE
Oh, man, I sure have not got much done on here today! I have a family luncheon tomorrow at noon that everyone's coming to my house and I've been trying to get some baking done and I put together some baked beans to put in the oven in the morning. I made a mess of the kitchen but it's going to have to wait till morning cuz and I'm going to go to bed very very soon. I'll have to try to catch up tomorrow after everyone goes home because boy I'm not going to have any time before then!
It feels good to be able to help others, doesn't it?
yes Ma'am it's amazing to be able to help people. well you have a great excuse for not being able to be on here very much today but hopefully tomorrow night we can catch up, I hope you have a great night of sleep tonight!
I'm working hard trying to get caught up here but holy cow did I get behind! I don't know if I will ever make it onto the EL board this week! Thank goodness the food today was great and so was the company. Lots of laughs and lots of getting caught up with people that I haven't seen in months. It was a lot of fun. The older we get the more treasured these people become. One of my favorite aunts is in her 80s. But she came today and brought scalloped potatoes and ham and it was delicious. Another cousin came and brought a homemade apple pie. And there were plenty of salads. My daughter is taking a Scandinavian studies class along with a Swedish language class this semester. The professor had given them a recipe that was a thousand years old for a bread that the Vikings used to make. She special-ordered a couple of the ingredients that she wasn't able to get locally and made the bread and brought us pieces of that today to try as a novelty. We all had a good chuckle over the fact that we were eating thousand-year-old bread.
howdy tonight melinda010100! oh don't worry about missing some time, you can make up for it just by sacrificing some sleep time! lol. hey that dinners sounds amazing with tremendously tasty food, I'm a little bit envious in fact!
What about that bread recipe, was the bread good?
Not particularly good. There was no leavening so it was pretty hard and chewy. But I made a dip and we treated it rather like chips and that made it a little bit better! It was just the novelty of it being a 1000 year old recipe that made it interesting. I guess the recipe was recreated from some that was found in an archaeological dig. One of the ingredients was barley flour and we had to do a little searching to find that here. Turns out, of course, Amazon had it.
hahaha! of course. When we are looking for things not normally found in grocery stores we can almost always find it a Walmart.com where as many times Amazon doesn't have it.
But the bread sounds interesting, gotta have very good teeth to eat it unless you put it in the microwave first, that kind is good with a dip like you said or a sauce. It should be healthy though. I'd slice it thin and make toast too.
It does have a great flavor! I haven't shopped in a Walmart in over 25 years. They have online stuff, too., huh? I didn't know that.
howdy again Melinda! wow...I'm stunned. I don't know of any other person except perhaps the Trumps, who haven't shopped at a Walmart for 25 years!
How is that even possible? oh you just have your servants do the shopping? lol.
Yes Walmart.com has everything. So many things the physical stores don't have like specialty items for baking. That's where we order our Monk Fruit. And like I said, we've had better luck with them than Amazon and much better prices too, it's just their big online operations like Amazon but they already have more warehouses.
I quit going into Walmart years ago when I realized that I saw more instances of child abuse happen in Walmart stores then I ever had anywhere else in my life. I think it was simply the class of shopper that I was bumping into there. And rather than get in a major argument with some parent I thought it was just better that I stay away. And I have never missed them. I am not much of a consumer these days, so I have little need for shopping anyway.
