I recently came across these clipped newspaper articles from 1979 in an Etiquette book I got from an auction a while back. I thought they were such good thoughts, so I would reshare them here in the blog for you to enjoy!
Sourdough Tortillas from Fresh Milled Flour
Before making tortillas with fresh milled flour I would follow this recipe from Milk and Pop’s blog: https://milkandpop.com/the-best-sourdough-tortillas/So this was the foundation for me creating this recipe, and I have made a lot of adjustments on amounts of ingredients used to make the tortillas with fresh milled flour, because it does make a difference!

This is a recipe I created from the combination of these two recipes: https://pipandebby.com/pip-ebby/homemade-bbq-sauce/#recipehttps://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/51226/a-very-popular-bbq-sauce/ I found a sweet and smokey bbq sauce that I loved the flavor of when I took ingredients from both of these and made my own measurements for them.

God has provided: Woodchips!
“Ask and you shall receive.” I am in awe. We prayed for woodchips, and now I’m looking at a beautiful pile of woodchip gold in our driveway. 2.5 years ago we desired woodchips to create our Richard Perkins market style garden. One January day, Scott heard a woodchipper in our neighborhood, hunted them down and […]
