Super Self-Sufficient
we have found out that it is better for both of us not to be cooking at the same time. so what i do is help out when she is done or in between things like i can clean up and do some dishes or help her bag things up. and since most of what i would make for myself is too spicy for her there's no danger of her getting too involved in the cooking i do. most of the time i wait until she is gone visiting a friend and that saves us both the hassle and stress.
today Mom baked bread and we had onion soup and fresh baked bread with butter for lunch.
we've really missed her homemade bread and have tried some from the store and we just can't like them. the last loaf she bought was bitter, some additive or another ingredient. she just uses unbleached flour, water, salt, yeast and some cracked wheat and some butter in the pan. that's it. i'm getting ready to be her apprentice next time she makes it so i can learn. i have made plenty of bread before but i want to see exactly how she does it and i want to do it while she's watching. i don't want to watch her as i've done that enough already. it is my turn.
