Save Money— Bake Your Own Bread Making your own bread can be an answer to rising bread costs. But you need to consider the cost of ingredients, energy and time before you decide to make all of your bread. Here are som tips to keep in mind about baking your own bread. Baking bread can be ar ticstic, creative and scientific activity and it takes practice to develop skills. If you have the time to practice and improve your skills, bread baking can save you money. If you bake bread in quantity, try to buy basic ingredients such as flour, yeast and sugar, in the largest possible amounts. If you buy these ingredients in small packages, you can double or triple the cost of a loaf of homemade bread. Choose store brands over name brands of basic bread ingredients and watch for special sales on flour. Two loaves of bread, weighing one pound each, require about six to seven cups of flour, or about one and one half pounds. This will help you judge approximately how much flour you need to bake bread for your family. The recipe you choose will also determine the cost of your homemade bread. Some recipes, such ag quick rising bread that calls for twice as much yeast, can be more expensive. Also, using nonfat dry milk and water can be less expensive than using whole milk.

There is the tiny, Jenny Wren sitting on the meadow fence and warbling so happily as she prepares to build another nest. Just yesterday Philip put up a box on the post and already it is being used. Her first nest was in a knot-hole in a old unused post and I believe she managed to raise the little ones without having the cats catch them. Another thing I notice is the cows and their manner of mooing. I’ve always felt the could communicate with each other and sometimes with me.

I have the theory that children ahould be prepared for the outside world before they take their first Job. There are often personality conflicts which must be lived with in order to get along. And so, I feel that some of my unpleasant moods merely help them to deal with others who might not always be sweetness and kindness either. Everyone should practice patience and I’m certainly one of them but I excuse some of my actions by saying that in the end they do serve a useful purpose for our children.
