This makes a dense loaf and as you can see, i make a long
narrow loaf. To Begin:

Mix water and yeast in large bowl. Let set 5 minutes. Add rest of ingredients,
Stir, and turn out on dusted flour table and knead for 5 minutes.

Let dough raise in a warm area, like near the oven which is warming up.
For about 40 minutes. Then cut the dough ball in half.



Flatten the piece, fold the ends in, and make a log of the dough.
Put both logs in a greased 9x13 pan, Now let the dough raise again
for 40 minutes in the pan.

Bake bread at 375 for about 30 minutes, remove from pan, let cool and enjoy!

SPRING IS ALMOST HERE!

Construction in Wisconsin starts early, here are the forms for a cement slab
to be poured. This is going to be a large garage for our Realty Business. You
can see the bobcat in the background that did the digging. Looks like a nice job.

Ella's Deli. Open faced sandwiches, potato salad, pound cake. Here I am with a New York Cherry scoop in a cup. A great place to take kids.

At the lake, the ice is melted. Grass is greening up but trees are still
bare. Basketball, frisbee, every once in a while the sun breaks through today.
In a week or so, people will be out here getting a tan. Good for their Vitamin D level!

DC TRIP TO SEE LISA, FALL 2009

A commuter jet to Milwaukee, then on to DC! Stacey drives me to airport.

Lisa and I go to an authentic Chinese Tea House. We had tea and food also. The owner took our picture here.

Lisa and I play a number of games Scrabble. Had some bingos, both of us.

Lisa takes me to a birthday party! The little girl is from her church and is 3, I think.

Its halloween! And this guy really looks authentic.

Lisa, in her living room. I think this is the last day of my trip.
