I spent Labor Day laboring around the house. I did 4 batches of laundry, cleaned, cooked (including 3 batches of baby food) and of course, cared for the baby. One of my big projects was grinding some rice flour. I put the grain mill out on the patio so I wouldn't have a fine layer of rice dust all over my house, which worked great. I now have about 20 cups of rice flour (which will last a long while).
The next day I was able to bake gluten free crumpets using my fresh rice flour. They were so tasty! I tried hard not to scarf them, but they didn't last long.
I was inspired by my bread to really step out of my comfort zone and make jam. When strawberries went on sale for $.88/pound, I took the plunge. I've now got several containers of strawberry jam in the freezer, but I'll have to make more crumpets, because they were gone before the jam was ready!
Good times...tasty times :)
