Hi Lilycat, Lighter, Debkor and Hope-
I used to have a Mormon friend (she moved away, darn it) We would buy honey from a honey man, wheat and cheese in wheels- very inexpensive and fun!!! We would grind wheat once a week and make bread, etc for the week, pancakes etc for our respective households, and as the bread was rising, we would gab and figure life out...fun and bonding like men do when they play sports, etc. Wish our culture supporte dmore of this sort of activity...
I would love to find a French shop where I could find the herb mixture that you speak of Lily- I used to go to an Indian woman and she would make up a bag of tandoori seasoning for me - such tasy turkeys, etc- the commercial mixes don't compare. Tonight I had pasta and vegetables - yummy!!!
Love,
C.
