It is time to open the wheat and get “crackin'” (hee-hee) again with using my bread maker. I loved my original Breadman bread maker. I used it so much that it broke. It was the best because all of the recipes were based on grinding your own wheat. Do any of you know of any bread machines out there now that do the same thing? I HATE change! I want my old Breadman back! I am planning on spending a couple of hours this week getting my recipes organized and then the grinding will begin! (Okay, it is absolutely pitiful that I am excited about grinding wheat and making bread! But rest assured…I will do it in full make-up and heels!!)
That reminds me, it is time to plant my wheat. Every Easter, we pant wheat and then have beautiful fresh wheat grass to decorate our home.
How do you do that? How long does it take to sprout?
Just fill any container you want with dirt about 3 inches from the top. Sprinkle wheat all over it. Put another layer of 1-1 1/2 inches of dirt. Water liberally and you will have sprout in about a week. In two weeks it should be looking pretty thick and nice. I just “mow” by snipping it with scissors to make all of the grass even. It is so fun, the kids love it.
