  • Hmm! That does sound good.

    Lets see.

    1/2 c. buckwheat
    1 c. unbleached flour
    6 Tbls. buttermilk powder (It’s what I happen to have, 🤷‍♂️ ).
    1/2 tsp. Salt
    1 Tbls. Sugar
    1/4 c. Ground pumpkin seeds.

    Soften 1 tsp. yeast in 3/4 cup warm water. Mix all ingredients with 1 Tbls. melted butter. Let sit covered for an hour, then place in the fridge over night. Can add more flour the next day if it’s too moist (Can’t remember the liquid to dry ratios, but unimportant for the first part. I can adjust for more/less when necessary).

    (update: Ok, that was the perfect amount of liquid. I’ll touch up some more flour when I place it in the fridge…On the other hand. Should have been more pumpkin seeds, or less flours. Meh! Will have to do…maybe I’ll find the will to grind more seeds up before I fry/bake it, heh).

    And I would mix it today for a deeper flavor.

    Slept pretty horribly last night which makes my pains worse, so I’ll push it back for tomorrow. Which will give me a chance to let it sit.




  • Oh, that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. I’ve got plans to incorporate a plaque that can be hung on a wall afterwards, that will use elements of both her grandpa, great uncle, and this uncle, heh. I’ve got my part figured out, just need to finish the other two…and I think I just got my dad’s figured out. He was known for growing russian olives, and there’s only a few branches left…I could carve a heart in a cross section, and place one of my claws in side of it…That’s what I’ll do…Now just one more…For our great uncle…We’ll be heading to his farm to find something next week. 🤞



  • Woke up early, prepared my work area for making an arch for my niece’s wedding. Wife doesn’t like my thoughts on it, but that’s nothing new.

    Right now, I found a way to make the couch more comfortable (wasn’t allowed to choose the couch, so got stuck with one that is uncomfortable as all hell, and hurts my spine). So I can sleep with my cats. Spine and food (GERD) is trying to kill me, though, but that’s nothing new.
