Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket Outlaw Update and Such

My little outlaw (see below) has told me that he's decided to stay one more day if I will "please never laugh in this house again." Oy vey!

I was happily making an ornament and broke it.

I'm obsessing over making it on time to the theater tomorrow a.m. for a private school showing of Narnia.

I spent hours and hours last night looking through a make a mix book and wondering if the mixes would work with fresh ground grain and coconut oil instead of shortening - kept in the fridge....and then I wondered how much of the nutrition would be GONE if I don't use the flour right away and how I balance that with the convenience of having pancake mix, hot roll mix, brownie mix and cake mixes ready to go.....

Such is life tonight. Mike and Jared are still on base (work and CAP). Jamin is out running - easy to do with the Christmas lights all around. Josiah is working.

I make and freeze my biscuit mix. I have learned with the coconut oil to take it out a while before I need it. I think that if I grind the grain, make the mix and toss in the freezer I shouldn't loose to much nutrition. By having it I will make it more often so that might make up for any loss of nutrition.

I don't know about the nutrition aspect, but in any event, it's still surely better than using regular stuff! (??)

Thanks Ladies. That is sort of where I'm leaning. Surely it is better than buying store bought because we're too busy...and I'll still know that they are ok for Zander if I make the mixes here.

Nola - great idea to throw it in the freezer.....and I love the idea of having quick to make mixes around here somewhere. LOL
