Craft Night Continued

The weather sure was bad on 12-1. So....we decided to add another day to the craft night. So don't worry about taking your stuff home and trying to figure it out alone. Come up Tuesday 12-8 @ 6:30 pm. I didn't get to finish all of my crafts so I'll be bringing them to finish. If you don't need to finish but want to visit there will be a baby blanket set up. 1st Ward is invited and Sister Ripa will be there (don't forget to pay her)

Beautiful Bread

For those of you who missed the Bread class...sorry it sure was fun and educational. Sister Townsend really is the Bread-Making Queen!
If you are interested I included the recipe, here are my suggestions:
1. Don't use only wheat flour, a combination is fine
2. If using sea salt lower the amount
3. The dough you MIX up will be sticky, don't expect bread DOUGH
4. You can use a bread loaf pan just make sure to really grease the sides.
Enjoy this wonderfully easy and yummy bread, your family will love it.

Artisan Free-Form Loaf
Makes 4 1-pound loaves
- 3 cups lukewarm water

- 1&1⁄2 tbsp granulated yeast (1 1⁄2 packets)

- 1 1⁄2 tbsp coarse kosher or sea salt

-6 1⁄2 cups unsifted, unbleached, all-purpose white

activate yeast in warm water, mix ingrediants with spoon. Leave at room temp for 2 hours then refrigerate in closed container (good for up to 2 weeks). When ready to cook, pull a piece off and shape. Cut top, let rise 2 hours then bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Enjoy :)

Craft Night with 1st Ward

In the foyer of the Church there is a table with lots of crafts on it. We have one more week to sign up (and pay) for what you would like to do. There are tons to choose from...little things like gift tags, small magnet gifts, and bigger things with vinyl lettering blocks. Please check to see if you need to provide anything for them.
Mark your calendar
Dec. 1st (Tuesday) starting at 6:30 pm at the church

Canning @ Maureen's

It's been a while since we looked at canning. Are you ready to "get your hands dirty"? Has it been a while and you want to brush up on your skills? Do you just want to get out of the house and hang out with your Sisters? If you said Yes to any of this, then you need to come to Maureen's on Thurs 11-19-09 @ 7 pm
Please bring: 1 lb of ground beef and if you have 1 qt size canning jar with lid and ring

MAking Bread

November is here. It is time to put away the carved pumpkins and get the turkey decorations out. As Thanksgiving approaches we thought that learning the art of Artisan bread would be fun. Sister Leslie Townsend has agreed to share her expertise and we all get to go home with some bread dough.
What to bring:
A bowl or Rubbermaid container with lid (about 6 quarts)
6 cups of flour
7 pm, in the Church Kitchen

Yogurt Success

For those of you who didn't get to go to the Yogurt class last week you really missed a wonderful time. We actually made yogurt. 1 big canister of yogurt from the store can make 8 batches (8 pint and 8 quart jars!!!) So if you need to spread your money a little further this is a great thing to do. Sister Ripa really helped us feel confident in what we were doing. If you get the chance, thank her for her help.

I added sugar and strawberries to mine and yum mm, my kids loved it. Sister Wallace said hers didn't set up so she added the same stuff and made smoothies (her strawberries were from her food storage!) I also did the knee-hi trick and made cream cheese. I hope to make a cheese cake from it and see how it tastes.

How did yours turn out? Post and let everyone know.

Yogurt Supplies

By vote we decided to have our Yogurt class on TUESADY @ 7 pm. If you come please bring these items.....
1. large bowl (about 8 cups)
2. small bowl (2 cups)
3. canning jars with lids/rings (I use a quart size and a pint size, or you could use 3 pint size)
4. a small cooler that your jars will fit in
Don't be scared, we are all learning together
