Colorways by Vicki Welsh

I didn’t get any sewing done yesterday, but it was still busy.

I with some soap making. I made 12 pounds of my normal soap, and I also tried a new recipe for a shampoo bar. I’ve been using my body soap some to wash my hair, but it’s really a little too conditioning. I made a small batch of the new recipe. If Chri and I like it, I’ll make a bigger batch later. Soap takes about 6 weeks to cure, so it will probably be September before we know.

I started sourdough for a new hamburger bun recipe Tuesday night and baked these yesterday morning. We both ate them for dinner and really liked them. I made some chiabatta rolls from the same book over the weekend, and they were good too! If you eat gluten-free, you might be interested in this book.  So far, I’m really happy with it.

Staying in the kitchen after dinner, I made two types of granola. I’ve never bothered making granola before because I could find commercial ones that fit in my allergy restrictions.  That option ended recently when I discovered that I’m also allergic to rice! Everything gluten-free contains rice. It turns out that granola and granola bars are really easy to make.

Today is mammogram day, and then I’ll get busy organizing the new veterans’ quilt tops.
