On Friday afternoon, a van pulled up, and Grandpa and Grandma stepped out. Munchkin was more than excited that Grandpa and Grandma were going to be staying with us for a bit. They are traveling around seeing some of the family, and we were next up on their list of stops. We’ve been enjoying our time visiting. Munchkin is having lots of fun playing board games and card games with Grandma. Grandpa has been teaching her how to play of few games on his Ipad which Munchkin thinks is pretty cool.

Posted in Family

On Monday, after the neighborhood kids arrived home from school, we were blessed with an ever so brief rain shower. Now, when you live in a place where there is very little rain, a rain shower, no matter how brief, is cause for great celebration.

Gluten Free Multi-Grain Sandwich Rolls Recipe I’ve been having fun playing with a new to me gluten free flour, teff. It turns out that it has a delicious flavor, especially when combined with other flours to create multi-grain rolls and bread. Munchkin and D were really wanting some rolls/buns to use for sandwiches, so I came up with these rolls that fit the bill. They ended up tasting so good that the buns did not last very long. I was excited because these rolls had all kinds of nooks and crannies. They were soft and did not need toasting to…

The Least Among You The 1960s were known as a time of civil unrest. Riots over civil rights and race were all too common place.
