Look What I Made!

I went to Lauren's on Friday morning and got some sourdough starter from her.

I experimented with a mix of half hard red wheat and half kamut, which I hope will be even easier to digest for us to start off with. It smells like whole wheat bread! I used my Blendtec to grind my wheat and didn't run it too long, so they will be kind of a cracked wheat bread. Unfortunately, it also ended up sandblasting the sides of my blender, so maybe I'll have to invest in a wheat grinder after all. But doesn't it look gorgeous?! 

I had to sit in front of my oven for about 10 minutes to watch it cook. It's so cool!

These are just previews of more photos I ACTUALLY put on my blog of our Israel trip.  This is our tour guide, or Director, Wayne Brickey who is one of my biggest fans who authored a favorite book of mine, "Making Sense of Suffering". The book helped me through many difficult days as a single mom. I was totally 'star struck' on this trip.  Such a great experience listening to and learning from Brother Brickey!

I don't go into much details of the trip on my blog post because it was 7 days of 5 or 6 stops a day and hours and hours of lectures and historical and biblical information. If you have any questions, you'll have to call me... go figure! We had a blast!
