I have done that before where I let the kids eat ice cream sundaes for dinner or something but they had just had pastries (cinammon rolls/iced scones) for lunch so we had shepherd's pie and then apple pie for dessert. 
I'm not as "grown-up" as I should be but I like to try to get some good food in them once in awhile!! lol

I have a Cranberry-Orange Bread in the oven now. I had no idea I still had some cranberries in the freezer--don't even know if they're from last fall or the fall before that!--but I found them the other day while looking for something else. I hate it when I lose things in the freezer!

Today is the big day that I'm hoping to try out a whole grain bread recipe with the dough enhancer added. I'm hoping it will make my people more accepting of whole grains in their bread. Just trying to decide if I want to make 100% whole grain or if I should have mercy on them and break them in easy.
If I don't do 100% I have to wait until someone can help me get the bread flour out of the back freezer. Since I hurt my back awhile ago, it seems to take two of us to do what one of us used to do. Which is pretty annoying.

Speaking from experience with my midWestern DH raised on Wonder bread (gak!), try a half 'n half. The dough enhancer won't care if dealing with 50/50. The baked result goes over quite well and then you can quietly raise the WW amount till you have 100%. Now he can't even look at Wonder bread let along sink a tooth into something that isn't real food (evil cackle). And he's practically poised with the bread knife as I pull the loaves from the oven. It's a good way to spoil family.
When I had back spasms mid-level (torn muscle, yike!) and bending beyond 20 degrees was teeth-clenching, I used a chair-level stool to help support along with arm and leg muscles to keep the back soft (keep knees open dropping & rising). You can't get to things 12-18 inches from the floor or deep on shelves but there's less sense of being helpless. HTH.

lavenderblue,
I've never used the dough enhancer, but I can tell you from experience that this recipe makes the best, lightest, 100% whole wheat I've ever tried. MrsFuzz posted it and man, oh, man, when I want 100% whole grain, it's the only one I'll use any more.

Have a dozen apple dumplings in the oven using apples from our orchard, 6 for a neighbor and 6 for us. Not my favorite thing to make, but I made the crust last night so it was a bit easier to assemble today.

Your bread sounds interesting, please let us know how it turms out and maybe post your recipe and method at Farmbell.
Thank you

Wanted a lemon meringue pie the other day so I hit the grocer for a box of lemon pudding while I was out running errands. They only stocked that instant crap. I bought 4 large lemons and girded my loins and decided I would finally tackle making lemon pudding from scratch. I don't know why, but it just sounded like it would be difficult. It was a bit more work than opening a box of store bought preservatives, but the taste made up for, and surpassed any inconveniences I had making from scratch. Much more lemony, and I controlled the amount of sugar. The pie crust was the most difficult thing to make because my family will not eat pie crusts made with shortening. I have to use butter and that is a lot more tedious to work with. (at least it is to me). Piled it high with meringue that browned nicely in the oven. A work of art that will be demolished by dinner time.
