The weather man swore up and down that we were going to get some crappy weather. Blowing winds, Rain/Freezing Rain, Ice, Snow, etc. It was supposed to happen today (01-19-2019) in East Central Illinois. I just looked out the window, and we aren’t getting anything…….. I wonder how many people hurried to the store to stock up on things that they can make at home? It isn’t terribly difficult to make Bread. Even if I make it wrong, it’ll still be Bread.

The Wind Generator isn’t hooked up to anything yet. Last night I hooked a 12 volt Fluorescent 5 watt Bulb to it. I look out the window occassionally, and I’m not seeing it light up yet.

I’m looking for an Air Conditioner Compressor that goes to a vehicle. One with the “V” belt pulley. My plan is to make a homemade Wind Generator that will put pressure into my portable Air Tank. I have an Air Scribe tool to use with it. No other air tools yet, though. It’s a way to work on projects when it’s too windy to work outside, for example.

Compare the White Bread. I think I proofed the yeast correctly in the heated (105-110 degree) 2% Milk. I’m disappointed in the White Bread. I don’t think it “rose” as it was supposed to. However, I do have experience with making Grandma’s Bread in a Can. There’s no kneading with the Bread in a Can, which not only turns out better for the novice baker, but it is also healthier, since it has Raisins in it. The next time I make the Bread in a Can, I’ll use some free Tart Dried Cherries.
I’ve got store bought Bread in the Freezer, but who wants to use that crap when I have homemade Bread. I’m thinking of making a Bread Box out of wood. I wonder what kind of wood would be best for making it?
