Yes, I know there was a spelling error in the title. That was just to get your attention.
Old sweaters recycled into pillows
I know, this is nothing new...people have been doing this since the beginning of time (aka the DIY, go green, recycling era) but I just thought I would post my own version of the recycled pillow. I made these in December-but didn't do them as a pillowcase, just simply sewed the little hole closed after the pillow form was inside. So, in order to wash them I guess I will have to either throw the whole pillow in the washer or take them apart. I was in too much of a hurry when I was making them I guess.
Grinding your own flour
This is something I have absolutely no experience with...but I was hoping someone out there would! I've always kind of scoffed people who bought wheat berries (is that the correct term?) and ground it themselves-it just seemed a little over-the-top for me. I mean, you can buy whole wheat flour at the store, right? So why go to the bother. But, maybe, just maybe, I am missing out on something. I grind coffee beans, and my coffee definately tastes better so maybe the same philosophy is true with wheat berries? And I have always wanted to make a GOOD 100% whole wheat bread, but so far the recipe has illuded me. Now I think I have found it (the recipe that is)-but I think I may also have to try making my own whole wheat flour if this bread actually works. Any tips, suggestions, ideas or recipes you care to share?
