Baking Bread
"She heard the air whooshing into the big bellows in the forge and the practice tap for range of hammer and anvil. She heard Liza open the oven door and the thump of a kneaded loaf on the floury board."
East of Eden, John Steinbeck
At the grocery store there is a brand of wheat berry bread I adore. I wanted to create a stellar whole grain bread with wheat berries that has the nutty taste I love and ingredients I understand. A splash of cocoa and sprinkle of nutmeg work in harmony to deepen the warm whole grain flavors in this Irresistible Wheat Berry Bread.
I entered this recipe in the National Festival of Breads and received an Honorable Mention in the Whole Grain category. The contest specified that the recipe yield two loaves. If that is to much bread, the recipe can easily be cut in half with excellent results.
It took me many tries to arrive at a place of irresistibility with this recipe. I wanted lots and lots of wheat berries but not a dense or heavy bread. I searched for deep rich whole grain flavor but with a soft mellow taste. A bread that could happily accompany soup at dinner or be slathered with butter and honey for breakfast. The bread had to be easy to slice to fit in our toaster. Just cooking the wheat berries and adding them to the bread dough made a less than perfect loaf of bread. It was too chewy and nearly impossible to cut a slice of bread without crumbling and tearing apart. The solution is to roughly chop 2/3 of the cooked wheat berries and leave 1/3 of the berries whole. To obtain the deep, mellow flavor I craved I found honey was the best sweetener to use with whole grain wheat. White and brown sugar were too sharp and loud while agave nectar lacked the character of honey that stands tall in flavor when paired with whole wheat. Still searching for vibrant flavor I found that just a dusting of cocoa power paired with the smallest amount of nutmeg makes the loaf sparkle with wheat wheat goodness that is hard to resist.
Ingredients | |
11/3C | warm water (100°-110°) |
2 packages | active dry yeast (4-1/2t) |
2/3C | unsalted butter, melted and cooled |
2/3C | honey |
3C | bread flour |
1T | salt |
2t | unsweetened cocoa powder |
1/2t | ground nutmeg |
3C | whole wheat flour |
4C | cooked and roughly chopped wheat berries (see cooking note below) |
2C | flaked whole grain wheat cereal (such as: Uncle Sam's Original Cereal or Wheaties) |
- Pour the warm water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whipping attachment. Add the yeast and mix until dissolved. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Let the mixture rest for five to ten minutes.
- Add the butter and honey to the mixing bowl and thoroughly combine. Add two cups of the bread flour, salt, cocoa powder and nutmeg mixing to combine. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Remove the whip attachment and replace with the dough hook. Add the remaining cup of bread flour and all the whole wheat flour. When the flours are almost mixed into the wet ingredients add the wheat berries, mix to combine. The dough will come together in a ball around the dough hook. Add the flaked whole wheat cereal and mix for five to eight minutes until the dough is shiny and elastic. If the dough is too moist add flour, a tablespoon at a time at the outside edge of the mixing bowl. Add just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking to the sides of the mixer. Place the dough in a large buttered bowl. Cover and let rest for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Butter two 9" x 5" loaf pans and set aside. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead a few times to deflate. Divide the dough in half. Form each piece of dough into a loaf shape and press evenly into the prepared pans. Cover the loaves and let rise for 1 hour to 1-1/2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Heat the oven to 350°. Bake the loaves for 35-40 minutes. Check the loaves after 30 minutes and tent with foil if browning too quickly. When the loaves are done they will be a deep tawny brown and have slightly pulled away from the edges of the pan. A cake tester inserted will come out clean.
- To prepare 4 Cups of wheat berries: Soak 2 cups of whole wheat berries in water for 8 hours or overnight. Place the berries in a saucepan and cover with water 2"of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes or until thoroughly cooked. Add more water if needed. Cook the wheat berries until they are plump and a few of the berries have burst open. Drain and cool the wheat berries. Roughly chop the wheat berries in a blender, food processor or by hand, leaving approximately 1/3 of the berries whole. I use hard red wheat berries. Different types of wheat may result in different yields after cooking.

It is a thing on my "to do" list to graft a Persea Borbonia (red bay) or a Persea Paulustris (swamp bay) to a Magnilia virginiana (sweet bay). I have several questions that beg an answer.....When would one attempt to make such a graft? What type of graft would one use? I am a grafter of plums, pecans and citurs but this is the direction I am headed. I want to graft some bay trees.......why.....because there is a decline of the Persea and I want to see if I can strengthen the tree...If anyone has grafted or wants to graft or knows of any information as to this practice please let me know. Thanks for your consideration................... |

Common sence says use methods of grafting you know..... as you have guesed we have no experience with your "problem" so please go ahead & try several methods then report back with the results. Sorry could not be of help but now you may be able to teach us |
- Posted by starfarmer (My Page) on Tue, Oct 23, 12 at 13:25
You might be able to graft a Persea borbonia to a P. palustris and vice versa, but neither would work on Magnolia virginiana because the Perseas are in the Laurel family (Lauraceae) and the Magnolia is in the Magnolia family (Magnoliaceae). While both families are ancient, they are quite distinctive both genetically and vascularly, and will not create viable grafts. This question is four years old, so the asker has probably already discerned this, but I thought I'd try to make it clear. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Laurel family article on Wikipedia

Also, you may find the accompanying document link interesting. The limits of Persea compatibility seem to have been at least nominally set out. |

SOURCE: Superb Tickets
Everyone enjoys laughter, and Book of Mormon tickets provide the way to attend a show that will have audiences laughing from its beginning until the last curtain call. The show has received high praise from critics and has had audiences practically rolling in the aisles with laughter. SuperbTicketsOnline.com has The Book of Mormon tickets at lower prices that customers will find accommodating for budgets that may be tight, especially with an expensive holiday season around the corner. The website features a wide selection of cheap Book of Mormon tickets for all performances, including Broadway shows at Eugene O'Neill Theatre in New York and other presentations taking place in different regions of the country. Customers will be happy to find prices that might be lower than the prices they may locate elsewhere.
Milwaukee, WI (PRWEB) November 15, 2012
Book of Mormon tickets have been very popular with theatergoers. A rollicking musical is always a joy, and this particular show provides laughs, dance routines, sensational acting, a very catchy and award-winning musical score, and a story about two Mormon missionaries that will be an enjoyable treat for audiences. Elder Price and Elder Cunningham must go to Uganda to make converts of the locals, but the citizens are dealing with other burdensome issues that push religion to the back burner. The missionaries are young, inexperienced, and determined to have a successful assignment, and they may be in for a few surprises. The young gentlemen could not be more different from each other, yet they are paired up to perform a task that other missionaries who have gone before them could not accomplish. The audience will be caught up in the plight of the two missionaries as well as the problems that the villagers have to contend with, but all is told in such an amusing way that the entire show is full of laughs and has high entertainment value. Cheap Book of Mormon tickets are selling like hotcakes but are still available, and theatergoers who have not yet seen the show owe it to themselves to obtain seats for the nearest performance.
Theaters across the U.S. are featuring Book of Mormon. Other locations besides the Broadway production include Buffalo, Boston, Cleveland, Detroit, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, St. Louis, Seattle, Rochester, Portland, Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C. The Book of Mormon tickets are selling fast. The show, for adult audiences, will be just what is needed for comic relief and enjoyable entertainment.
Other theater productions are also showing on Broadway and may be touring various U.S. cities as well. SuperbTicketsOnline.com has a large inventory featuring Wicked tickets for performances in New York and elsewhere. Glengarry Glen Ross tickets are affordably priced for a showing taking place at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre in New York. No holiday season would be complete without the purchase of Radio City Christmas Spectacular tickets to attend an enchanting performance the entire family can enjoy. Not to be forgotten are Book of Mormon tickets for a truly hilarious musical.

Sideshow Ben! Despite the few negative and confused responses and the gloomy atmosphere that surrounds the tattoo, you had the courage to show a tattoo of the Birthmark of The Chosen One!
Number 12 and Number 14 also known as Lenny and Carl, take off The Stone Of Shame. Give Sideshow Ben! The Stone Of Triumph!
Going into this thread I was expecting an embarrassingly ugly Simpsons related tattoo, like of a character's face of something. I was pleasantly surprised by the stone cutter ink. Also kudos for having the guts to get your ass out on the net.

That's awesome man. I don't have any tattoos either, because I'd regret all but a few designs. However, this one certainly would qualify to be etched on my body. The other two I would get would be; Petunia from The Adventures of Pete and Pete on one arm, and the time left before the world ends from Donnie Darko on the other (^_^)
"I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more, is none."
Wow! Awesome Stonecutters Tattoo

Letter to the Editor: Renaming
BY Virgil Watkins, Tulsa
Wednesday, December 05, 2012
12/05/12 at 3:05 AM
I have been reading about the controversy regarding the Ten Commandments in public places. Are they so bad that they would make us a worse nation? If so, what is so bad about them? If they were lived by we would not have so much murder. There wouldn't be any need for abortion because couples would be married and look forward to children. Children would respect their parents and life would be better for everyone.
Why not rename them? Perhaps we could call them "Rules For Better Living." Maybe that would make the ACLU happy.

Customer Reviews
- great tv Review by sheila
We bought this 60 in. tv on 6-8-13. It's not our first Vizio so I know they are nice tvs. The TWO complaints I have are that we now have to use 3 remotes instead of 1. And that the speaker on this tv is on the back of the tv. The sound is towards the wall.????? So I had to hook the old surround sound to this tv . So we have a tv remote, a satalite remote, and a surround remote. My other Vizio has speakers on the sides. and until we set this one up it didn't dawn on me that they were towards the wall. By the way over a $900.00 tv.

- Awesome TV & Great US Customer Support Review by Johnny G
Bought this TV in March. After 2 weeks it started powering off. Called customer support & they had me reboot the TV. The problem came back while I was on the phone with Customer Support. They told me they would send me a new TV in 7 to 10 days. The New TV arrived & it has been awesome! Great TV along with great customer service center that is located in the US is a plus for buying a Vizio product.

- AWESOME with a capital A! Review by James J
Bought this TV 3 months ago and could not be happier with it. Picture is great, better than I thought any picture could be. Sound is great! I love watching Netflix on it. The LED screen really bring the picture out to you.
I have enjoyed this too much. Have to get outside more. Baseball games are so good, I don't want to go to the games. Best seat is at home now.
I will add a surround sound system too. The new Vizio S4251W surround in on order just now. The TV was under $1000 and surround sound for $350, I will have a dream system for movies, ball games, Tv and music. My wife was not happy when she saw the size when I set it up, but now she invites her mother over to watch the ball game. They are both big fans of the Brewers! Great value and great system, Look forward to years with this system, my last system lasted almost 15 years before I upgraded. That was an RCA.(Posted on 5/3/13)

- Vizio - Great Company Review by John W.
This is my second Vizio HDTV. I purchased a 32" LCD about three years ago and it's been flawless. I purchased this product last week and I am absolutely thrilled with the TV.
The setup was so easy, I never looked at the instructions. It receives my wifi signal, and after signing in to my network, I updated the apps, and have really enjoyed watching movies on Netflix, videos on Youtube, etc. I have a 1 mb speed system. I select a movie, hit pause and go do something for about five minutes or so. When I return, no buffering, etc. Movies are crystal clear - even old ones.
I researeched and hit various stores for over six months - the Vizio is as good as anything out there. This company proves you can still get high quality without price gouging.
Count me a longterm fan!

- Awesome Review by pappapump
After having upgraded from a 32" flat screen to this 60" i honestly dont understand why i didnt do this earlier!! It has by far the best screen i saw of ant models in the store. For anyone that is looking for a new tv i suggest you save some time and head straight for your nearest vizio dealer, if i had the wall space in all my rooms i can say without a doubt that this tv would be every where in my house

- Awesome Review by jmdavis
We had seen the TVs in SAMs and wondered about the manufacturer. Have two other TVs that are LGs. Very satisfied. This Visio was advertised at Walmart at such a good price on TV ad. Called local store and they had one left. Went to purchased and it rang up less than was advertised. When called to register it was told about the black screen and was told the warrant would be extended an extra year. Bought in February and the end of March we got the black screen. Great support and new one was sent. Within two days we noticed 3 small lines were visible across the screen from left to right. Called and sent three pictures and a new one is being delivered this coming Tuesday. I didn't have to raise my voice. Only wish I had had the same experience with HP over the years. They caused me to take blood pressure pills every time my computer had a problem. I would recommend this company to anyone. Wish I had trusted them earlier.

- Flawless Review by Nick
This TV not only has been wonderful, Looks excellent and really adds a lot of appeal to an otherwise bland living room. Gaming, Netflix (built in), Sound everything. I have found literally nothing wrong in 5 months of heavy usage.
-- My tv was also part of the black screen issue mentioned here
Within 5 minutes everything was set for them to send me a newly manufactured tv, and set it up and test it at my home for me. Will take 7-10 days, but i couldnt be happier. To know that they stand by their product, even when the finger might land on them, is really a relieving suprise. The black screen issue has actually reaffirmed that i made the correct decision in purchasing this particular tv, as otherwise i might not have known what a good company Vizio really is.GREAT JOB VISIO!(Posted on 4/15/13)
- CUSTOMER SERVICE & STAND UP COMPANY Review by AL
No one likes problems with $1000 purchases. When my 2 month old Vizio 60" Model E601i-A3 began experiencing picture quality problems, I called customer service for tech support and learned that they recognized the problem and, without hassle, set up replacement. They'll ship, setup the new unit and package the old and take it away in 7-10 business days. I just have to be without my beloved TV for awhile. It truly is a "no-brainer" to set up and love the Wi-Fi capability.

- 60' VIZIO LED RAZOR TV....AWESOME Review by FNunes
Just purchased my Vizio 60' LED RAZOR yesterday from Costco. This vizio was the last addition to my small man cave. This is my first Vizio and I'm very impressed with it. I Did a lot of research and red lots of reviews before buying it. Can't go wrong with a 60' smart tv for under 1k.

"The gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials."
Chinese proverb
The definition of whom or how many qualify as impoverished peoples is hard to identify in relation to income levels.
Simply put, poverty is caused by political and economic influences as well as self-fulfilling prophecies of inequality that tend to keep the poor families poor.
You Are Not Alone
Economic struggles affect us all from time to time: loss of a job, unexpected illness, mortgage interest rates rising, bad spending habits, divorce, addiction, poor investment returns, life events, natural disasters. This does not make you a failure, this makes you human. There is no shame in having less than your neighbors.
Effects of Poverty, Economic Struggles and Hardships:
- Loss of transportation options (ie: no money, no gas, no car)
- Less ability to provide proper, nutritionally balanced meals
- Limiting of social activities
- Difficulty focusing on work/school
- Calls from bill collection agencies
- Utility disconnection
- Strained emotions
- Embarrassment
How to Help Yourself if You're Facing Poverty and Economic Struggles:
- Look for low-cost or free Community Center activities and/or support groups - they often have drop-in programs for kids
- Explore different faiths in and around your community - many of them offer helpful programs throughout the year (free medical clinics, Christmas baskets)
- Most Health Centers and/or Doctors' offices have numerous pamphlets giving direction for assistance
- Carpool with co-workers to save transportation costs
- Food co-op baskets (available in most areas; see Additional Resources below)
- Shop at grocery outlet discount stores
- Find ways to cut back on utility expenses: change the setting on the thermostat, seal leaks in windows or doors, turn out the lights when no one is in the room, add an extra blanket at night instead of turning up the heat.
- Contact your local utility company to see if you qualify for one of its free programs to help make your home more energy-efficient.
- Organize a clothing and/or toy swap with other friends and acquaintances who have children. You get to socialize, your kids get different clothes/toys, everybody saves money, and things stay out of the landfill.
- Organize clothing and shoe swap parties with other women. This is a good way to freshen your wardrobe AND socialize without spending money.
- Organize a "block party", pot-luck style. Everybody in the neighborhood gets to eat AND have a good time.
- Use your social networks. Do not be ashamed to ask friends and family for help.
- Barter. If your friend's husband is a mechanic, offer your baby-sitting (or hairdressing or gourmet cooking) skills in exchange for help swapping out your radiator.
- Freecycle and other sites exist to keep things out of landfills. Ride the environmental movement & find free stuff.
Facts and Statistics About Poverty:
Almost half of the world lives in poverty. Of these 3 billion people, 1 billion of them are children.
Poverty does not discriminate against color, age, sex, religion, or ethnic origin.
Poverty increases the cost to sectors such as health care and school systems.
Single parents, and most often single mothers, are the most weighed down by hardship and have the most difficult time rising above economic struggles.
10.4 million US households have low food security (insufficient money or other resources needed to acquire food).

But this Veteran's day was uniquely special for one veteran in New Mexico.
David Patterson served as a Navajo code talker during World War II. He celebrated his 90th birthday Sunday on Veteran's Day.
Navajo code talkers transmitted hundreds of messages in their native language that the Japanese could not decipher.
His son says he knew his dad was a marine, but Patterson never spoke of being a code talker.

The latest wave of attacks on churches, police stations and even building workers across northern Nigeria seems to be the insurgents' response to President Goodluck Jonathan's sacking of his security team last month. Boko Haram claimed most but not all of the attacks over the past fortnight, which cost over 30 lives. Jonathan, who had no experience of security policy until he took over the presidency in May 2010, explained that he was changing staff in response to Boko Haram's change of tactics 'every day'....

text: Yes We CanAn Example That Can and Should be FollowedBy choosing the Reverend Rick Warren to offer the invocation during his Swearing In Ceremony as the 44th President of the United States of America, President-Elect Barack Obama has set an example that many leaders of the Democratic Party should follow. Reverend Rick Warren is the Evangelical Pastor of the Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California. He is also an opponent of homosexual marriage and the author of the best selling book, "A Life with a Purpose". President-Elect Obama has been receiving ongoing complaints by leaders of the homosexual community who are furious after finding out that Reverend Warren has been selected, and are asking for Barack Obama to disinvite Reverend Warren. He won't. This is a great example by Barack Obama, and should be taken seriously by the leaders of the Democratic Party.

Lee Westwood continued his fantastic good form with a win in Malaysia , while former Open Winner, Ben Curtis, won in Texas and Brendan Grace bagged his third win of the year on the European Tour. Meanwhile a debate rages on whether or not "belly", putters and the like, should be banned. Those against the use of these clubs , argue that anchoring the club, rather than holding it with both hands, is an unfair advantage. I must say that I have no problem with them, and feel legislation against their use is unlikely.
At Protrolley we have been running a trade-in promotion on your Electric Trolley , so there has never been a better time to replace/upgrade your old model. Give us a call and we will do all we can to supply the right model for you.

THE ANDY WARREN COLUMN: Gazza needs to help himself before it's too late
6:00am Wednesday 13th February 2013 in Sport By Andy Warren
I'M REALLY not sure what to think about the plight of Paul Gascoigne. While on the one hand it is incredibly sad to see a man idolised by so many in such a bad way, fighting for his life.
On the other, it's hard to have sympathy for someone who has been given so many second chances and failed to take any of them.
I'm ever so slightly too young to really remember Gascoigne in his pomp in the late 80s and early 90s, so I find it hard to have the emotional attachment to him others have, which can often bring out the rose-tinted glasses when it comes to all the incidents which have brought him front page headlines over the years.
He isn't Gazza anymore, he isn't a footballer, he isn't that cheeky Geordie we all know and love. He is a man named Paul from Newcastle who needs urgent help to save his life.
The incident with Raoul Moat, a six-pack of beer, a bucket of chicken and a fishing rod brought him back to the public's attention and left him open for ridicule, ignoring the real issue that the man is mentally ill.
While he is lucky to still have the love and support of his friends, there have been many other areas of modern life who have not been so helpful.
The national media continue to publish photographs of Gascoigne looking frail and weak, comparing him to the footballer who once was the idol of an entire nation.
He isn't that person now, and he needs to be given the space to recover without everyone expecting him to still be the bubbly character who is the life and soul of the party. It is being that person that got him into this mess in the first place, remember.
I have never had a real addiction, I don't know what it's like, but from the experiences of friends and acquaintances, what I do know is that alcoholism is something which should not be taken lightly. In many cases an alcoholic isn't just someone who loves to be drunk, it is a mental illness which is not given the attention and 'respect' it deserves.
But you have to help yourself, and Paul hasn't done that.
Both during and after his football career he has time and again put himself in situations he must surely know are not going to end well for him, and one day he will probably pay the ultimate price for that.
There is of course a lesson here for young footballers like Swindon Town's Miles Storey, who has had his taste of the limelight at a young age already this season.
Making it as a professional footballer at the top of the game comes with plenty of perks these days, but look where these perks can get you in the long run.
Miles is one of the most level-headed and grounded young sportsmen I have ever met, who I am certain will not have these problems, but there are so many out there who could.
We need to look after our young talents, and help them learn from the mistakes of the ones who have gone before them.

At night I would get into bed and, after turning out the light, take out a can of condensed milk in which I had punctured a little hole. I would sit in the dark sucking at the sweet milk with a voluptuous feeling all over my body that I could not explain. I thought then that being in love and sucking at the sweet milk were related. Much later I remembered this when I tasted sperm for the first time.
Mollie remembered that at the same age she liked to eat ginger while she smelled camphor balls. The ginger made her body feel warm and languid and the camphor balls made her a little dizzy. She would get herself in a sort of drugged state this way, and lay there for hours.

Almost all medieval feast foods were conveyed to the mouth by elaborate, and often elegant, finger choreography…However, both pinky fingers were extended, never touching food or gravy or sauce, reserved as spice fingers. Dipped into the salt, sweet basil, cinnamoned sugar, or ground mustard seed, then raised to the tongue, the spice fingers displayed a feaster's digital finesse while adding another sensual pleasure: touch of food's texture.
Some modern polite extensions of pinky fingers, serving no physical purpose, are cultural remembrances of medieval spice fingers. In fact, a medieval clerical encouragement for use of the fork was to eliminate the pleasure of touch. The fork was generally ignored until the late 16th century as a superfluous and foppish metallic intrusion between sensual food and willing mouth.

I was mostly happy to stay here. It was not too big but cozy.The interior was nice. The cleanliness was so so, I saw some dust at the corner ofthe living room, and moldy fruits on the living room table. The trash box in the kitchen had been full for two days.The female staff was nice and friendly but we met her only once when we checked in. Otherwise there was no one at the reception. But generally it was nice and relaxing place and good cost performance. MARIKO, from Japan ~ 11th Jan 2013

Still haven't mopped up the flood waters yet? WTF, this should be like $50.
Sata III interface. Price is about right for this month. Next month should be cheaper
SATA3 is useless for spindle drive, it can't even transfer close to 1/2 SATA2 speeds.
Agree with #1 & #2. I'm holding out until these get back to pre-flood prices.
Sata III 6gb/s drives never were at pre-flood prices.
Sata II 3gb/s 32mb cache HDs were being closed out so they were cheap. None of the dealers are selling them anymore except that auction site and those are selling for around $70.
