I'm glad someone appreciates my talents
'Tis the season to bake goodies.
I made the Orlando to Sarasota run today to deliver some yummies to my dh's parents and pick up the wheat that the trust Magic Mill and Bosch will turn into Grandpa's daily bread. I love to bless my in-laws this way, after all, they have done so much for us.
Skimming Rebekah's blog, I can see that she's been baking, too, much to her son's sweet appreciation. Beck, I don't agree that scratch goodies would breed any contempt for their less complex relatives.
Today's dialogue points to this...keep in mind that almost EVERYTHING baked in our home is from scratch (with the exception of doctored cupcake mixes).
Princess: Mom, have you decided what I get to bring to the party tomorrow?
She has a holiday party with her resource teacher tomorrow after noon and has been assigned to bring sweets. She also knows that I have a freezer stocked with no less than six types of cookies (not all me...I exchanged with my sisters).
Me: Um, no. I thought I might make up a cookie plate. Did you want me to make up something special?
I confess I offered this with a sense of dread...I'm tired after a busy couple of days and I need to pick up the house and stock the pantry for our incoming company. However, I'm also thinking, "How sweet, she appreciates mommy's baking and would like something special to share with her friends".
Princess: Yes, I thought you could pick up DUNKIN' DONUTS. Should we get them tonight or on the way to school tomorrow?
Sigh...

That's hilarious. At least you don't have to bake any more tonight!?
That's funny, Heather! Sadly, we can no longer let kids bring homemade baked goods to school. Everything has to have a list of ingredients and be from a bakery or a box....

LOL! Gotta love how kids think...
I just want you folks to know that I buy 25 POUNDS of hard white wheat berries which Heather grinds into flour and bakes me my favorite bread (which my doctors like for me to eat).
It is good as cinnamom toast (which my wife makes for me using Splenda instead of sugar), as sandwich bread, as a desert with my wife's no sugar/no fat pumpkin or applebutter speads.
Heather also makes a great wheat roll with the same flour.
Folks, it is heathy and tasty -- two adjectives not found in the same sentence very often.
It's true...I've had it...
LOL!! At least the kid wants Dunkin Donuts...my kids want the fluffy white powdered ones from Hostess!!!!
