Howdy cowgirlmama, I lived in Lawton for 3 months. I don't know how close that is to you though. I loved it though and always meant to go to Texas. If the people in Texas are anything like the people in Oklahoma, then I'm excited to get to know you!

| good morning fellow farmgirls!I hope everyone has weathered all the storms we have been having-yuk!We have been lucky-some shingles off,and some hail damage,but the brunt of the latest storms have gone just north of us.We live on a hill,so there is nothing between us and the North Pole(you know what I mean).-----Eggs are expensive here in Texas also.Milk is about 4. a gallon.---Miss.is a beautiful state!I have relatives in Vicksburg-I never tire of going through the National Park.Laurel is in Northern Miss.?----- |

I live in central Kentucky. I bought a gallon of milk at Kroger (their brand 2%)last night--it was $3.59. I don't buy eggs very often: we have 3 chickens, and a neighbor brings us fresh eggs as well. We feed and process our own beef. We raise a big garden each summer and fill a couple of freezers and many dozen jars. From the looks of the economy, we may be buying a milk cow!!

Cowgirlmama,
I hope you aren't sending those nasty hail storms up my way. It was very windy all day and actually almost hot - 83 degrees!
Milk here is almost $4.00 a gallon too (we don't drink it, thank goodness) and today I paid $2.50 for a 18ct. carton of eggs. I have gone back to regularly baking bread - the price for that is unreal!

Do you have a favorite bread recipe? Years ago I baked bread pretty often, but got out of the habit. Might have to get back in the habit.

| frannie,let us know when the kids are born!---my husband drinks milk,and I use it on cereal,but that's it.We eat more tortillas than we use to-nice change from bread-I think it was about 90 south of the border today(that's the Red River).In this month's Country Living mag there is a neat shop advertised in Ardmore-it's called the Cloverleaf Boutique-any one familiar with it?I love funky,one of a kind items-plan on zipping up 35 soon to see it---back to the bread-has anyone made Indian Fry Bread? |

Hi, there! Oh my, I am sorry I missed your question about the bread recipes. I make one large batch of dough in my bread machine of 4 cups unbleached white bread flour to 2 cups whole wheat flour (I have a grain mill and grind my wheat). From this basic dough I can make two large loaves, or one loaf and rolls, etc. Whatever we are going to use that week. I usually make one loaf cinnamon-raisin: roll dough out into a rectangle and sprinkle a cinnamon brown sugar mix, raisins and/or pecans over it. Press into dough lightly and roll up tight, sealing loaf, makes great toast! When I make pizza I will do the same thing, make a large batch of Italian bread dough, take out what I need for the pizza, and then make 2-3 baguettes after the pizza is done to put in the freezer until I need them. I love trying out new recipes, my problem is not enough people here to eat it all  There is just the two of us at home.
I've never made Indian Fry bread - I make flour tortillas and pita bread. It's sort of like that, isn't it?
That shop in Ardmore sounds neat! I'll have to check that out.

Thanks for replying. I don't have a bread machine. I guess I will dig out my old recipes and try them again. Best I remember, they were pretty good. Have a good day.

Cowgirlmama,
Congrats on the new grandbaby coming!!! Enjoy your weekend too. I spent a lot of time this week working out in the yard. Today it was very cool, so I was out there most of the day - cleaning out flower beds. Got to get that kind of work done before it gets hot.
