Gluten free bread — first attempt

I love making bread, but this is my first gluten free bread bake.

This package mix came from Bob’s Red Mill. All special ingredients were supplied. To do it from scratch, I’d have to stock up on some specialty items.

This bread is a bit more coarse than my usual bread, so I hope it will pass the test when my grandson gives it a try.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

A special peppermint stick and orange treat

How many of my friends have had this special holiday treat? I wonder.

When I was a child, our stockings held oranges, peppermint sticks, and an assortment of nuts. This is how my sister and I used our peppermint stick and orange. When the juice was gone, we ripped open the orange and ate the inside.

Separating an egg

Clean your hands before attempting to separate the yolk from the egg white using your hands.

Afterward, your hands will be sticky, so wash immediately.

I used the egg white to make meringue cookies. If any egg yolk got into my whites, I wouldn’t have been able to make a good meringue. Happily no yolk got into my mixture.

Celestial Seasonings Cinnamon Apple Spice Herbal Tea Review

Need to warm up? Try this tea.

I like sweet tea, but this herbal tea doesn’t need any sweetener added to it to make it taste sweet.

I also used one tea bag in my extra-large mug. The flavor didn’t weaken much from the additional hot water.

Winter and hot tea go together like coffee and cream which are also a good pairing in winter.

Ritz Toasted Chips

One day I wanted a treat, but I didn’t want potato chips. When I went shopping this caught my eye at the store and I came home with a bag.

After one bag, I had to get another. I can’t stop eating these chips. I have to limit the number I eat or I’d eat the whole bag.

Maybe someday you’ll give these a try.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
