Happy Sandwich Day!

Today is Sandwich Day!

Wikipedia gives us the following description:
"A sandwich is a food item, consisting of two or more slices of bread with one or more fillings between them,^[1][2][3] Sandwiches are a widely popular type of lunch food, typically taken to work, school, or picnics to be eaten as part of a packed lunch. They generally contain a combination of salad vegetables, meat, cheese, and a variety of sauces or savoury spreads. The bread can be used as it is, or it can be coated with any condiments to enhance flavour and texture. They are widely sold in restaurants and cafes.
The sandwich is the namesake of John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich."

Today Is.....Plan Your Epitaph Day

Okay,not a very welcome subject. None of us like to think about the day when we will no longer be around. When our family will be seated at the breakfast table, open the daily newspaper, and see at the top of the obituary column, our name! [Gives me little goosebumps just considering it!]

But what about an epitaph? You know... that little inscription that will go onto our tombstone. Have you ever considered what yours would say?

Hubs and I plan to be cremated. We'd both like our ashes to be scattered. So it seems doubtful that anyone will memorialize us with a tombstone or a plaque.

But let's take into consideration just what my personal epitaph, if I had a tombstone, would likely be.

I've often been told, although a licensed minister, that I can be ever so irreverant. I used to say that I wanted to be buried face down; so that my epitaph could read:

"Such a busy Mom, she always had to fly, buried face down, kiss her bum good-bye!"

[My poor Mother had a ‘conniption’ fit when I told her that!] So, I’d guess that would be out of the question. A little bad of me to consider it, huh?

I suppose, if I had to be serious about it, [and let’s face it, I am seldom that!], I’d want to be remembered for loving my family. And my belief that death is but a doorway into the next life. It doesn’t end here with a good-bye.

So….

Preserving the family,

Of the happy Family Reunion.

Family Recipe Friday - My Breadmaker Bread

I have been posting recipes that were both from my grandmothers, and also those which I raised my family on, and which remain tried and true in our household to this day.

Here’s one which I make several times a week! We use to supplement meals, as well as for sandwiches and snacks!

My breadmaker bread. This recipe will make a 1 ½ -pound loaf of white bread.

INGREDIENTS:

1-cup cold water

2-tablespoons cooking oil

2-tablespoons sugar

1-teaspoon salt

3-cups all purpose bread flour

1 tablespoon yeast

DIRECTIONS:

Make sure your breadmaker pan is spotless clean.

Add ingredients in the order given. Simply pour into the bread baking pan. When you are adding the final ingredient, yeast, make a small “well” in the flour and pour the yeast into the hole.

I set my machine for “medium” [which takes 3 hours to process].

When your machine beeps to let you know the baking cycle is complete, remove from machine, and place the pan on a cooling rack. Allow the bread to cool for 10-15 minutes before removing from the3 pan and setting on the rack. I usually cover the bread with a clean tea towel until it is completely cool before slicing and storing for use.

You can also cut it immediately after removing from the pan if you want to serve it hot with a meal.

****You can remove the dough after the second kneading and shape into rolls, and place on a baking sheet that has been prepared with non-stick cooking spray. Cover with a clean towel and allow to rise once more about 35-40 minutes. When finished rising, remove towel, using a brush, cover with melted butter and bake at 350-degrees for about 18-minutes or until golden brown. Makes delicious dinner rolls!
