Bread

I know Ive posed this recipe before, but its a good one.

We made some more bread about a week ago.

2 cups of starter

1 cup of warm tap water

1 tsp salt

1 tsp sugar

Honey (just because)

Mix that in a bowl, and add flour until it looks and feels like dough.

Let it rise. You want it to double in size.

I actually put this in the bowl Friday afternoon and forgot about it until Saturday.

It rose a little

Punch it down. If it is real sticky, add a little more flour. fold it a few times, and put it in a bread pan. Let it rise again. 

Wet the towel some so that it will not stick to the bread.

Stick it in the oven 375 for 30 minutes, then start checking it with a knife to make sure the center is cooked.

Eat it.

I sure like this recipe. It is easy and tastes good.

What else can you ask for?

There's a Hole in the Pocket

As Red Green says "If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."

I had a hole in my coat pocket, so I figured I would sew it up instead of bothering my wife about it.
My mother gave me this sewing machine a long time ago. It does not get much use, so every time I do use it (once  every 10 years or so) I need to figure out how it works all over again.

As you can see the birds nest under the fabric. I assumed it had to do with the bobbin since it was under the fabric. Turned out I had the thread routed wrong.

Well, I didn't have the thread routed at all really, just down to the needle. Evidently the thread needs some tension on it to work properly.

Wrong Way

Routed the thread properly. Success - I did not stick the needle through my finger and my jacket pockets no longer have holes in them.

The end product is still messy, but it works.

While I had the sewing machine out; I sewed up a hole in the pocket of an old pair of pants, and just for good measure I sewed up

the other pocket.

Now my keys wont fall in my boot.

Right Way
