Good morning to all of you gardeners. Running a little late with the post this morning. My garden area is now clear of plants. If the daily rain showers will just by pass me for a few days I will do a final tilling and remove a few more of the roots left behind. To all of you with Fall/Winter gardens I wish you the best.
I am making a batch right now. Just put it in a bowl for the first 1/2 rise. Just asked Diana in Wisconsin how she makes the starter for the Amish Frienship Bread. Since it is raining my outside chores are delayed and football is on!
Please add me to the list.
YOU HAVE
ADDED TO THE WEEKLY GARDENING PING LIST
Like I said the other day... I have this recurring nightmare that when I die I am sent to Hell and find snow and ice there!!!
That would be a hugh and series problem!
We just cubed the tomatoes by hand and threw them in the pot this time for the salsa. I cheated, I didn’t skin them. At first I tried the food mill, but that was a pain. It would keep clogging up. Mine was thinner this time because I just didn’t cook it down as much as usual. I was impatient. LOL.
I’ve never had a potato donut! If you get an extra few minutes to post a recipe one day, I’d sure like to try them though.
First of all, treat yourself to good yeast. I’m none too fond of the Red Star packaged stuff in the grocery. I buy a French brand from King Arthur Flour. A bag lasts me all year...and I do a LOT of baking...and only runs about $5. (I keep it in the fridge.)

(The ‘starter’ recipe is near the bottom of the page.)
Have fun! Don’t send me any, LOL!
Samples? ;)
That’s almost as purty as a new speckled pup! :)
I made a batch of the dough earlier today. It is in the fridge now (reminds me I need to check it) I will use if for cinnamon rolls in the morning. Donuts later.
Thanks for the link.
I was too lazy to type it all out, but it’s the same recipe I use. ;)
We love our jerky! Last month hubby brought a mule deer home from Colorado and I used 20 lbs. of it to make jerky sticks (look like a Slim Jim, but drier and tougher like jerky). I think I came out with 6 lbs. of sticks and there are only a few left. I have to hide them from everyone ... even the 10 month old granddaughter uses it as a teether and absolutely loves it, spice and all.
Did you get that line of storms from the west yesterday?
Yes those storms rolled through here yesterday afternoon about 4:30. Light rain and misty most of today - cool temps.
I make home made bread all the time but I am not a baker. I make the donuts about twice a year. I don’t think we have bought more than two or three loaves of bread in the last two years.
Those of us that can grow food and preserve it, sew or knit or crochet, can sew on a button, bake bread, make our own wine or beer and tend small livestock will one day RULE this country full of the incompetent and clueless. ;)
However, if nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve, LOL!
The recipe is at the link; RD-232 posted it on last week's thread.

They are good!
Thank you. I love warm glazed donuts.
