Bread Recipe, before it Gets Buried in Shamelessness

Jo's Granny's Bread Recipe

2 C. hot water (warm to touch)
2 pks yeast (4 1/2 tsp)

Mix, let set about 10 min or so.

Add:
2/3 C sugar (or honey or molasses or any combo of)
2 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 C flour (I use 1 C each white and whole wheat or rye or 2 C white)

let rise till doubled.

Then add:

1/2 C oil
2 C flour (I use 1/2 C white and 1/2 C wheat plus 1 cup of oatmeal - or 1 C white and 1 C wheat or rye - or 2 C white)

let rise till doubled.

Then add 1 C more flour (or same combo 1/2 and 1/2)

Shape loaves and let rise till doubled. (Split top with knife and pour on butter if desired.)

Bake at 350 till done. (Brown on top and kinda hollow sounding.)


I bet you could add all the flour, let rise and then shape and let rise again before you bake it. This is just the way Granny did it, so it is tradition.

A nice religious discussion before bedtime. God isn't handing out money.

Blue-footed boobies sure are cute.

Pics - Sawyer. lolcat in a sweater. Mr. Rogers. Jessica Simpson. Dysfunctioanal families. Connery. Keely Shaye Smith is good enough for Pierce Brosnan.

James Bond. Skinny Hollywood women = bad role models.

Addition to Kerry's Aussie dictionary - Dunny = bathroom.

Be embarassed for middle aged women who still want to have David Cassidy's baby.

Morgy sleeps a loooong time in her new bed.

Karen should watch Lost online.

Happy 63rd anniversary to Karen's parents!

I'll be back later to continue this update. 2416

ShamelessLite Enjoyed Spring Break

Let's see. Uhhhhmmm, from memory . . .

BZ touched the Hoff. Jo's bench is beautiful. Karen had Teenagers of the Corn in school. Morgy is the resident pervert. MP got tsked a lot and liked it. Renae got a new bed. Melbgirl changed her avatar. [It's beautiful.] Misty is still pregnant. FCBs haircut prompts LOLcats with new hairdos. Norma has been shamelessly cluttering the thread. Noco shamelessly cluttered to page 2400. Kerry continues to be very productive.

Kerry: "I'm just winning the I win game . . ."

Mt Redoubt is too close to Nae_in_AK. Naked mole rats look like P ohmy.gif RN.


If I left you out, please forgive my shameless memory.

Half an Update is Better than None

Kerry wants pictures of Hoff from BZ's in-person with the living legend. Kerry is up too early.

Good mornings. We love Sharra's Challenge. Jo is doubly positive and gets productive. Sharra can teach "Towels and Toilet Paper: What to Do" Hamlet -- Aye, the rugs! Morgy teaches "The Island is Not a Landfill" class. Her kitchen is beautiful. [Editor's note: Do you accept Children of the Corn as students?] Karen wants to sleep. Sharra gives MP a nod.

St. Patricks Day. Amaretto Cake recipe with metric conversions! (See Post #45857 ). BZ isn't happy about being outed as Top Poster Number Four. Morgy clutters shamelessly. EBowen makes her second post a shameless one. BZ clutters shamelessly. Amaretto cake. Morgy clutters shamelessly. [Editor's note: Some posters have VERY slow internet connections.] Bad Influence Penguin introduced as a new Beanie Baby.

THE KITTENS!! (See Post 45967.)

St. Patricks Day. No corned beef for Morgy. Misty is still pregnant and okay, but the 4-year-old was sick. They have no heat. Morgy Digital Scrapbook Page. Morgy writes to Marla. Jo turns in an Awesome "DONE" List. The Obscenity Daffodil opens. Jo gets the room painted, and curtains and decorations back up in 6.5 hours! She promises pictures of the bench. Houseplant party in the sunroom.

Irish Bread. Sharra claims to be Dora. Kristi gives us GOLD!! There had been 92 Lurkers, but we only have 79 five minutes later. Challenge Committee Meeting.

"Filtered" beer. Lobster baths. Lady Myst gives us a blessing, but doesn't feel like being funny. Sharra becomes increasing incohernentigrhtjsk while havhygu e somhggj beerz. Kristi and Melbgirl are using their GOLD to buy houses. Training children. Lottery tickets. Melbgirl clutters shamelessly.


[Editor's Very Important Note:

The ShamelessLite Editor apologizes to Abby for depicting her as being "home drinking wine and lurking!"

Abby: "I had two wines after the Philharmonic at the concert hall . . ."]

Abby wonders what her real hair color is and wants to go to Las Vegas. Then she asks, "Am I being sufficiently shameless?"

Renae's Sheep counts people. Thersista. Karen was "momentarily a lurker." She's subbing with 8th and 9th Graders of the Corn. Craving Spring and stuck in a room with no windows. "Particularly." Tap Dancing Cat (see Post #46170.) Scolds bridle (see Post #46179.) Detention.

Morgy gets an email from FlyLadyKatie. Jo brings us on a Nature Hike. Morgy wants to go fishing now. Thersista. Teenagers of the Corn. Elaine dancing (see Post #46212). Morgy laments MP leaving us alone.

Karen: "Are we no longer tsk-worthy?" Sharra tsks. BZ wants a kitten. Thersista. Jo shows us BOOTS!!

Jo: "Her man is a puppet? Ok that brought up a thought I am not proud of. "

Mista Thersista!! (See Post #46265.)

Forum Boxing Match. The Pinochio Joke!!

Amazon vs. The Library. BZ upholds her image. Posters ante up and raise and up the ante. Chief Nut is beautiful and we love him.

Misty has heat again and her DD is better. Jess and Sharra can have a Beautiful Scientists' Club.

Naturenut: "Somebody has wicked control issues!"

Jess' Scientific Approach: "Screw this drama! I'm browsing ebay!"

Noco states she's not laughing. Melbgirl breaks a tooth on breakfast.

[Editor's note: When did Sharra hit 9,000?? GREAT JOB!!!]

Morgy brings us colcannon boxties and soda bread. Melbgirl stays out of the drama. Baby dragon. Karen is home and relaxing.

Drama chatter. Step-children ARE real children. Kerry's thread is apparently awesome. [Editor's note: I'm looking at that now! The Update takes a backseat to that.]

2274-2292

Noco's warm and cozy pajamas. Don't hate BZ because she's perfect/has perfect dreams. Morgy and BZ work together toward a new page goal. Panhandle weather reports. Spring poetry. One more semester and Jo will not be a therapist.

Bubba, aka Marcello, likes to wear 5 pairs of undies and play ninja turtle. "Since he hurt himself doing karate kicks he now wears extra padding." Kerry's child would enjoy playing with him, but would not bother with the underwear.

Greetings from Ireland. Ministerial certificate. Non-profit org goals. A clean home using 15 minutes/room. Ninja Penguin. My FlySista is NOT a therapist. Abby needs clothes. She may de-clutter too much. She's going to, hmmm…where was it? I think it was Wal-mart. Meg's condolences on that trip.

NoCo is having a heatwave. A tropical heatwave. St. Patrick's day facts, Morgy and Norma try to find an Irish family connection. Morgy may have NO CORNED BEEF?!?!
Kristi had a looooong day.

Here's a great conversation:

MG: Jo, thanks for this (a spring poem). It's good to have some culture on the thread.

Kristi: Woah! I think I'm offended by that comment! Humph!

MG: I meant refined, educational type culture as opposed to......I don't know, some other kind of culture. LOL We do have lots of culture here on this thread, I admit.

We're jealous that spring came to FCB's house. Morgy shows off her buds. She can't open windows yet (P.U.) Sharra needs to know "Summer is that when the snow is green?"

Morgy to Abby, who is switching from winter to summer clothes - "You are in Mexico.. so that is, what, full-back bikini to thong bikini??"

FCB gets fitter. Jo flashes her buds too. FCB gets a head start on next semester. Pain sucks - Morgy wants to clean. MG's dd has a lump on her head and tries to use it to her advantage. BZ had a less than perfect weekend.

What the heck is going on with Noco? "Spring break was last week, we took the family skiing. This week is the start of soccer. Plus, dh brought home an 8-month old puppy yesterday that we are going to work with for a friend."

P0rn is the new porn. Aglets. Fukidol. Renae is on Poop Patrol with Pooper Scooper Barbie. Warm weather. More talk of buds. ADOLAS. Benedryl.
Bz learned from Andy Rooney.

Amaretto cakes are yummy with 3/4 cups of it in the batter. Kristi and MG make progress with their land and home hunts.

New parking assignments from VP FCB. Please make a note.
BZ, you're in the Space Number Four!

Kerry, you have overtaken MP and are in Space Number Six!

Melbgirl, you have passed Darla and are in Space Number Nine!

Kristi mops too much. BabyStep 2-b is widening your butt. Kerry's emotional. We don't blame her! And she won't share hats with kids who might have lice. Reality should be against the law.

We choose party favors. Daggers? Outfits to wear/not wear. We all love each other. Fuzzy navel, sex on the beach. Drinks!! The Frog hops away. Perfect Pair timer. The Silver Penguin Clock. "It's My Party." but Mr. BZ doesn't share the penguin love. Bikini-clad Penguin. The Hoff. VP/Apathy saves the Teenages. Oh wait, it's Willy Wonka.

BZ has the bake sale crew at work in her house. A Nap Tradition. After the Philharmonic, Abby is left with the wine and the Lurkers. Funerals. MP was a lurker and gives hugs to all, even FCB.

Do you love LadyMyst now that she can dance? Never mind -- she was singing, not asking a question and notes "huffy doesn't work on shameless." Karen's geneology project. Child safety coloring book. Young Grandmothers.

Note to MP: A Warm Springtime Hug, Full of Sunshine and Big Flower Buds right back to You!

Kerry: "I hear whistling. What's all that whistling about?"

Morgy's Digital Scrapbook pages. (They're all good!!)

FCB: "I'm just whistling a happy song to cheer MP up so she stops swearing at me."

Housework music. The lurkers are stampeding in!! MP is buying us CDs.

THE SHAMELESS DINNER FIASCO AT FLYCAT'S (See post 45066.)

Jo gets a haircut and changes her avatar. Morgy finishes her apron. Date night runs into Saturday and Sunday, too. Misty wants that baby out. Sleeping on your stomache. Melbgirl looks for land.

Renae thinks she's been lazy!? Counts sheep.

Good mornings. Jo's first grader has big plans for spring break. They are not the same as Jo's. Plus there's a birthday party for Bubba. What color to paint the bedroom?

Egrets (see post 45152). There's porn thread going on. Saturday fun. Some Poster is Perfect and has Perfect Children and Home. BOOTS!! No, not those boots. Kerry is following Jo around with a camera. Jo's sister is a therapist, too! Someone is angry inside and has their Ph.D. in Denial.

Girl talk. Flowers. Flying affects everything. Let's send the Children of the Corn to the Perfect Poster. Kerry sings to us. AP Kindergarten has Astronaut Classes. PP fixes the Children of the Corn.

Kerry thinks she's mean!? Many choices for Renae's title. Sans Nom Bonbons Haricots. 1000 Post Strip Club!?

Morgy:

"I'mmmmm dreaming of a greeeeeeeenn Spri-ing!
Like all the ones I used to know!
Where the birds are singing,
the pools are glistening!
And birds procreate in the treeeeeeeessss! "

Sans Nom Bonbons Haricots = No Name Jelly Beans

Multilingual, Musical Team Captains About to Cure Cancer and Patent a Better Hoover!

The Obscenity Daffodil (Madama Presidenta Obsceniteum) (see post 45275).

Spring pictures. Kristi's househunting report. Links to alleged porn thread (See post 45291). More of Kristi's househunting report. FCB's buds are bigger than Morgy's.

Kristi to Morgy: "I'll theripitize you if you do me!"

Kristi:

"It's been a while since I've been truly shameless."
"Ready?"
Rapid-Click Clutter!! WOO HOO!!
38 "Super Shameless!!!" posts.

FCB can spell porn but doesn't want to draw porn ads. She cleans up unfinished projects now.

The Pohmy.gifRN brings the lurkers out in droves! Sharra's sister isn't a therapist and doesn't play the harp.

Sexy Fred. Morgy's Digital Scrapbook page. Noco forgets what shameless thing she was going to post. She gives us an entire paragraph in one post. People need to go to bed. Canadian Coppertone Ad (see Post #45394). Melbgirl's landhunting report. Jo was lurking. Waxing kit. Playdough. Massage. Sports. Porn. Therapists. [Editor's note: Is there Porn Therapy?]

The futon. Noco procrastinates, but not on thread cluttering.

Noco: " . . . my butt was missing the chair something fierce."

71 Lurkers to 6 Members = 11.83:1!!

Melbgirl procrastinates, but not on thread cluttering. The kids dawdle instead of getting ready for school. FCB's weight-loss!! WOO HOO!! Morgy's lilac! Sharra sweeps out the garage and pushes the cats out. Abby changes out the clothes in the closet.

Quick update on a slow day

Melbgirl colours her hair and deposits 5 in the CCT Bank. Her DD spells like an American and misses the Championship. [Editor's note: Throughout the day, Americans vote her the winner.] LOLcats. Losing Elders.

Good mornings. Jo likes the sunshine and misses that 55°F that disappeared in the last week. Abbie's teacher does a drop-in. Jo's house is guest ready for the surprise visit -- Jo even had a bra on!

Meg is "caffeinated, but its not doing its job!"

Jo drops a note in her post:

http://www.onceuponalife.com/forums/images/smilies/hide.gif

Better than the Shameless Thread?

SkinnyCat has been busy. Meg mentions cleaning the oven. Renae wants to play, but comes back with a headache. Dogs with ice packs show up. Speeches. BZ should have her Anniversary Party in Michigan. Michigan and Texas have the same temperature.

Renae is feeling better. HOORAY!!
