• Monday, March 5, 2007 - I did it!!!

I finally did it!  I made my own wheat flour!  I got a grain mill a week ago and used it for the first time this weekend.  John's step sister sells them, well actually her husband does.  They own a few coffee shops and he is a distibutor for the blender that they use in their shops.  It turns out that the same people that make the blender also make a grain mill.  So... long story short I bought a grain mill from them and made flour with it for the first time this weekend. The girls thought it was great, we made bread right away with it and they said it was the best bread ever!  Today I am going to make some pastry flour to make granola bars with!  Very exciting stuff is happening over here!

I bought a grain mill 2 years ago, and my husband says it is the best thing we have bought in years. There is absolutely nothing better than fresh bread made from freshly milled flour. YUMMY!! (Why did we buy store bought mostly-white bread for so long?)
Blessings,

We also just received our grain mill and have been having so much fun this weekend. I've made bread of course and also a pizza crust with my wheat, but then we also did some popcorn and made fresh cornbread and some cornmeal mush. I need to start searching out some recipes for cereals I can make too. This is so fun!

I got my mill on Friday, but STILL haven't been able to use it. :( We've just been too darn busy to get to the store and get some wheat berries. I'm jealous. Maybe I can get there today...
