Mom says mix well like a cake
mix before adding flour.
She also adds Karo, honey and
sugar together because it lasts lon
ger in the bread box. She makes a
lot of bread because she gives it to
her children and friends. A lot of
people say that she should sell her
bread. Mom's been baking for 30
years. She says you can reduce the
amount to make less loaves. I real
ly think that she makes this much
bread to keep the family together.
That's her way of keeping the kids
together because she knows that
we will show up on baking day.
The grandchildren love when she
puts hot dogs, Helbasa or peppe
roni in them. My grandmother
always had all the kids at her door
step when she was baking bread in
Pittsburgh. Her specialty was cin
namon rolls. With this recipe she
makes donuts and all kinds of
things. Mom taught us all to bake
so we could carry on the family
tradition.
I'm married to Bert Barber. I
have a 3‘A -year-old son named
Marty. He’s the reason I love
being a mom, homemaker, and
housewife. He’s a real comedian
and makes my day ever day. He’s
got both grandfathers' wit. It’s
hard keeping up with him, they
bother were characters. Neither of
them are with us now, but they live
on through my son.
We don’t have a farm yet, but we
are working on it. I have chickens
and two cows named Babe and
Emily. I’m collecting cows. I love
crafts. I paint saw blades and tink
er with everything.
