Bread Machine -- Slim and amaranth

[Guest guest]

Very good reason, keep your house cool. One could even run an extension cord

and bake in the yard to keep the house cool in the summer. I am leaning towards

an outside bread/pizza oven, but this is a couple of years in the future.

 

My amaranth sprouted from compost that did not get hot enough, not killing the

seeds. This turned out to be a blessing, since the volunteer red amaranth looks

beautiful mixed with the other crops. I found out that I do like the red

amaranth in salad, raw. Tart taste, gives salads a zing. Very different from

the green. I did not eat the leaves of the red earlier since i grew it from

very little seed, so i just harvested the seed. Glad that it grew for you!

warning: if you let it go to seed you will have lots of it!

machines, particularly sourdoughs and whole grain (starting with the grain). But

making bread from scratch can be an intimidating proposition for a new cook. The

bread machine gives you structure and the semblance of help, when there's no one

around to demonstrate really how simple it is. Also once you're experienced at

bread-making it can be a convenience and a time saver to just measure out the

ingredients and let them go. Put out on the patio in summertime, it helps keep

the house cool, not needing to turn on the oven. So I like having the gadgets

around, even if I don't always use them. (btw: I've also got some amaranth to

eat, now(!).)
