Just like challah

This morning, I brushed my hair and put it into one big braid rather than the usual pony tail. Yes, I'm that stylish!

Yehoshua watched me as I braided my hair, and I asked him, "Do you know what this is, Yehoshua?"

He said, "Yes. A braid. Grandma does that. It's just like challah!" :)

That looks so pretty. I haven't gotten inventive w/my bread yet. Just simple loaves.

Beautiful loaf!

That is so neat! I've gotta try that sometime! I watched the 6-braid video, doesn't look too hard if you concentrate and don't get confused! :) I've never seen it done before.

That's so funny what Yehoshua said. Cute!

Instant Oatmeal recipe

Tammy, coming out of lurkdom to share this recipe with you - I saw your post about the instant oatmeal packets, and I knew I had to share this one with you - You don't put it in packets - you scoop it out from an ice cream bucket. I usually double or quadruple this to make it last for our family of six.

Instant Oatmeal

4 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 tsp cinnamon (we like more)
2/3 cup instant powdered milk
1/2 cup chopped dried apples (or other fruit)

Toast quick cooking oats in a 300 degree oven for 20 minutes. When cool add remaining ingredients. Store in airtight container. Pour boiling water over mix in a bowl and stir. Wait 1 minute before eating. You can also put mix in a bowl with cold water and microwave to heat and eat. This is a great kid helping project. Combinations vary but here are some ideas for some flavorful additions: cherries and almonds; bananas, pineapple, coconut, and cashews; apples, peaches, pears; raisins, craisins and cashews, etc.

How cute :)!
