The buns came out pretty good,nice & tender. Then, just like Mom’s they got tough, but still nice & tasty. Now to find newer recipes that come out a little softer.

Fresh buns!!
First buns
We ran low on bread this morning and with Cindy & David coming up I decided to make bread. Never having made real bread I dug out the old (1950’s )reissued Betty Crocker cookbook,The big Kitchen Aid mixer Tried something new.I picked that book because it had the recipe that my mother (Reita) used when I was a kid. That’s when I discovered we only had 1 bread pan, so I decided to make buns. As you can see, I’m not good at portion control. Oh well, now we wait to see how they turn out. Waiting with butter and home made jam in hand.
Wreck & Rent-A-Wreck
THE WRECK…Sitting in Hank Graff Chevrolet body shop this morning. Preliminary estimate is $2,000.00. I don’t think so. too much hidden damage to be cleaned of mud. But at least it dosn’t look too bent. We shall see.
THE RENT-A-WRECK Sitting in our driveway Monday evening.
Farmer’s Insurance worked fast. The rental is a ‘99 Buick LeSabre,loaded,for about $20 a day. Nice car, but it can only carry one barrel at a time.

The penguins were a hit,now i go to assemble the baby one that Momma drew freehand.
Safe at home
What an exiting day! Left on one of our multi-stop trips today to the eye doctor, lunch out, Sam’s Club, Pet Supplies Plus, and Wes’ house. Watched the Lighted Christmas Parade, had refreshments back at the house, and headed for home. In a snow storm, with an inch on the ground and more on the way.
We almost made it halfway. I-69 was down to 2-tracks in one lane. We went over the white line and the front tire caught the… All she wrote. Spun out, took out a small tree, blew a tire, bashed a fender & god knows what underneath. But, we were not hurt. Oh a sore shoulder for Momma and a slight headache for me. As you can see, all it did was open the word gates for me.

Still priming the barrels.
