Bread Tip
To all you bread bakers out there, I've found something wonderful! A bread recipe I had used some called for "wheat gluten", yet, until today, I'd never used it. Wheat gluten is wonderful! It made my bread rise higher, and seems to have improved the texture, making it softer. Plus, it's supposed to improve the freshness, we'll see how that works. But I'd highly recommend baking with wheat gluten!

Oh, I know...baking with gluten is wonderful! I've found it's especially nice when using whole grain flours as it makes the bread less crumbly (along with all the other things you mentioned). We bake bread with it at home and I'm amazed at the difference when trying to bake at other people's homes who don't have any.
Funny story about gluten...a couple years ago, my sister, not one of the main bakers in our family, decided to make a Boston cream cake or something like that. She was the only one home and so had to figure it out all herself...we have our wheat and white flours in separate places and she wanted to use white flour, but assumed it would be by the wheat flour. Well...she grabbed the gluten instead, thinking it was white flour and made a whole cake with it! It was...interesting...rather chewy and tough. So the moral of that story...make sure to label your gluten!

Yes, my mother use to use when she would make bread. Now that I'm making bread, she can't find the gluten, so I haven't been able to use it. :( It's really good, though.
Jessica, that is so funny about the cake!

Yes, it's important to label gluten! That's funny... =) It sounds like a mistake I would make, I make such silly ones sometimes...

I am not sure what Mom uses gluten wise. She is the bread maker in the family. She does grind her own whole wheat, and it's fabulous!

Dear Anna,
I'm so afraid right now I can barely write! I went to a favorite website of mine called teen girl fellowship and they have this comment box. Well I commented saying how much I love the site. Well I went back to see if anyone else commented, and I it was not a chistian reply! There are some girls on there commenting on REALLY BAD stuff and they are swearing on there! I told them they need to stop and remember that this is a christian site. Well someone told me to get off and few other unkind words! I so was so shaken up I told my mom , and she said to never visit that site again. I cried so hard because nothing like that has ever happend to me! I'm still so shaken up and mod I can barley write. Please pray for me! I feel so sick over it! Write me soon!

I am truly sorry, Ashley, about what you went through. I have had to bear stuff like that many times. But, I have one quick question, and please don't think me rude. Did you ask your mom to go back on the website when you felt the Lord telling you to? I just want to check, because if you didn't, I know God would never to tell you to do something that went against your parent's authority.
Anyway, I am glad that things have appeared to turn out alright.
Oh, and anyone who wants to, feel free to check out my blog at www.growingingod.blogspot.com I would love for you too.

ella ,
i did ask my parents if I could get back on. They said if God told me to I should but they were very careful about it. I could never disobey my parents. Thanks for asking!

Ashley, I'm so sorry I haven't gotten back on your emails... I have been EXTREMELY busy! I'm leaving for 2 weeks on Monday, and then will be leaving the day after I get home, and will be gone for a week. So, I haven't had as much time as I would've liked. Plus, Miriam was here yesterday and today, so I haven't been online recently. I will try to email you soon!
Damask Rose, it's neat that you got to make a wedding cake! I'm sure that was fun!
Lioness_for_Him, thanks for the recipe, I might try it sometime! I had heard that the reaction in bread making was the same as the reaction acohol goes through, but baking bread sure does smell good!
Thanks for all the advice you girls had, and I'm glad things have worked out, Ashley!
