A book designed and photographed by myself, styled and written by Caitie. This project was our labour of love for a few months, as we finally decided to do this properly and get something printed. It was 40pp, and print came from Blurb.com

Challah (Recipe)
recipes
Image by Ruthieki
I got this recipe from the wonderful Molly Breslin. Baking challah, or any bread, from scratch isn’t difficult, it just takes some time. Most of that time is spent waiting for the dough to rise. I like baking on Sundays, and I use the rising periods for short bouts of studying.

Shosh’s Challah (2 loaves)
5 1/2 – 6 c. flour
1 T dry yeast
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/4 t salt
6 T vegetable oil
1 1/2 c water plus 2 t
1 egg

1. In a small bowl (#1), put yeast, 1 T sugar, 1/4 c water. Mix and
let it stand for 10 minutes or until it bubbles.

2. In bowl #2 put all dry ingredients: flour, salt, sugar; mix them well.

3. In bowl #3 put all wet ingredients: water, oil, egg, and the yeast mixture after it’s bubbled; mix them well.

4. Mix everything together to make the dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a little flour until you can handle it. Use your hands to mix and press the mixture until it forms a ball of dough.

5. Cover with a towel, and let the dough stand in a warm place for an hour or an hour and a half until it doubles in size.

6. Punch the dough to let out the air bubbles (this is the fun part!).

7. Let stand for 10 minutes.

8. For traditional-style challah, separate dough into six even
pieces, roll each piece into a snake either between your hands or on
the table, and make two braids. Turn the ends under so they look
pretty. You may need to keep a little flour out to keep them from
getting too sticky. Or, weave them into any design you like. Place
them on greased and floured cookie sheets.

9. Beat one egg in a small bowl. Brush both braids with egg. Let them stand half an hour, and then
brush with egg again. If you
like, sprinkle with poppy or sesame seeds after the second egg wash.

10. Let rise for an hour or an hour and a half until the loaves double in size. Be patient!

11. Heat oven to 375F.

12. Bake for 22-26 minutes or until the tops turn golden.

13. Eat all at once because it’s so yummy that you can’t stop yourself.

I’ll be sad to leave most of these in storage. The chosen few that will go with me are on the bottom shelf. Close-ups of the shelves: Bottom, Middle , Top.

These photos were taken so I could join in on the cookbook meme. I post about my shelves here.

cwd337 Photo Essay: The Family Meal

Almost every Sunday evening my family gets together for a meal at my parents’ house. Usually in attendance are my parents, my brother Joe and his fiancé Ruth, Marla, me and the twins.

It was a delicious fish and potato pie, accompanied by green beans and carrots. With cake and ice cream to follow. A fine feast. I just love the way Morgan is looking at the camera.

This photo is serving two masters. I am using it as my 365 Days self-portrait for today as well as including it as a part of my Photo Essay assignment for the Class With Daves Audit group.

Not so much on a diet but trying to make intelligent choices when it comes to eating. Throw a little exercise in the equation, and I already feel a bit better about myself. Hopefully I’ll stick with it. With yummy food like this, it shouldn’t be that hard. 🙂

Diabetes365 Day 39 November 15 – Snack foods
healthy food choices

I attended a big launch session at work today with about 400 colleagues. In between the presentations, we were given some snacks.

So about 3 PM, I wander to the snack table and see the following selection.

A selection that’s both high carbohydrate and high fat. And definitely not worth taking insulin to eat.

What happened to fruit as a snack choice?

Full disclosure: I knew they wouldn’t have anything ‘good’ to eat. So I bolused about 10 minutes before break time and ended up having an ice cream bar, slowly. My blood sugar ended up staying pretty close to normal.

There is no cure for Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

Yet.
