After further review, I have concluded through my storm glass experiment that when you place the storm glass in the right spot, it is accurate.

Today, it predicted a snowstorm that was NOT in the weather forecast.

I am baffled at this storm glass.

There was no snow in the forecast, the precipitation map showed nothing. No precipitation expected in the next 10 days. It doesn’t even say it’s snowing now.

And yet….

It’s snowing big flakes!

The storm grass predicted accurately again.

CREAM OF WHEAT COOKIES
These cookies bake at 325 Deg F or 160 Deg C. for 15-20 mins until light brown. These are great with a hot cup of chocolate or cold milk. You can also add raisins or nuts to this if you like.

2 oz soft butter
1 large egg or 2 tbsp yogurt
3/4 cup icing sugar
3/4 cup semolina / farina / sooji / cream of wheat
1 cup self rising flour
1 tsp almond essence / extract
1/4 tsp lemon extract - you can add up to 1/2 tsp for a stronger taste
raisins and nuts - optional
2 tbsp. icing sugar extra

My Changes:

I doubled the recipe decided it needed more, so added eggs till 4 and decided to add plain yogurt till dough a better consistency. I used only lemon extract, some cinnamon powder, I placed an almond in the center of each cookie. I used green food colouring because I am made these for works’s Pot Luck for St. Patrick’s Day

For the past year I've been learning how to bake yeast breads here at home. It's been challenging and rewarding (when it all comes together right, lol).

Today for the 1st time I made up a Boule recipe and ran into a snag. Is there anyone here that's familiar with yeast breads? Since I'm here several times a day reading about chickens, it would be great to chat with others that also bake.

Good morning Home Bakers.
Life is good the sun is out!

Hi, I do not do any baking but my wife does. She is a good baker and I have the tummy to prove it. LOL.

Here is a link to her recipe page on her website and she has a recipe for home made bread. Hope the link works.

The link didn't work for me. Do you know the name of the website?!?!?!?
