Tiny Talk Tuesday

One month 'till Mom's birthday! : )

On with the tiny talk...

Outside, watching Grandpa's dog, Bob Barker, roll around on his back in the grass, David said, "Hey, Bob, what are you doing? Did you see him flopping around?"

Yes, I saw him. Then Bob started making that dog moan that they do while rolling around & David said, "Did you moo? Are you a cow, Bob?"

Then Bob got up & started chasing his tail. I said, "Look at him chasing his tail!" David, started shaking his rear & said, "I'm chasing my underwear!"

While watching my favorite show, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, there were commercials for Oprah's Big Give coming on next. David saw Oprah before I turned the TV off & said, "Did you see Okra? Okra is a lady."

.

In the car yesterday, David made up a new song. It went a little something like this, "It's Patrick's Day... It's Patrick's Day... It's Patrick's Day... It's Patrick's Day... It's Patrick's Day... It's Patrick's Day..." I wish I could type the tune out for you. It was very creative.

There he is on St. Patrick's Day, enjoying juice from his green cup, eating green eggs for breakfast! Click here to see our St. Patrick's Day photo. We were celebrating our Irish heritage. : ) NOW, we can get on with celebrating Easter!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Irish Brown Bread

2 1/4 c whole wheat flour
2 1/4 c all-purpose flour
1 1/2 c rolled oats
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1 T sugar (I used Splenda)
2 1/2 c buttermilk

Heat oven to 400*. Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl and mix with your hands. Dig a hole in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in 1 1/2 cups of the buttermilk.

Continue mixing with your hands, adding the remaining cup of buttermilk as you combine the ingredients. The dough will be wet and very sticky!

Dust your hands with flour and shape the dough into a ball. Place the dough ball on a floured cookie sheet and score a deep X into the top using a knife.

Bake until it's golden grown, about 50 minutes, and cool on a wire rack. Let cool at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Makes a crusty, dense, and delicious loaf of Irish Brown Bread just in time for Saint Patrick's Day!

I got this recipe out of this month's Family Fun Magazine.
