I'm making bread this morning.  Yesterday I asked aunt Jacinthe to give me Grandma's recipe and she took a picture of it.  I love to see grandma's hand writing and the way it is redacted.  I wonder if she wrote down her mom's instructions.  It doesn"t seem to be  from a book.  I'll have to ask around. I found yeast in the pantry with a 2017 expiration date.  I thought I would steep it in water with sugar and see if it still good or not.  After 10 minutes I was not sure so I thought I would take a picture and asked my aunt if she thinks it's ok.  By the time I got my phone I could see that it was good.  Lesson learned: don't toss your yeast before trying it out.

I don't know what are your necessities but in our household it is string beans, ground turkey and carrots.  So when we're out of those Scott goes and gets a few other items at the same time. This morning I had toasts with hazelnut spread and orange slices.  I bought hazelnut spread a few months back because my brother and his wife were coming over.  Then I quit chocolate for lent and I forgot about it.  Easter had been quiet this year but chocolate is back on my diet. ☺ I made the bread last week.  Bread is not a necessity (almost) but flour is a pantry staple.
