Hi Michael,

 RH> I know; "peace in our time" is one of those elusive phrases.  Makes
 RH> you snicker even more when these "beauty queens" say they want world
 RH> peace.

 ML> We'd like peace in our time, but mostly we insist on peace on
 ML> our terms. I think it's the latter part that causes the trouble.

I think that is very true.  We all want something (peace, in this case)
but on our terms, without regard to the other party.

 ML> I touched on a mini-rapprochement in my latest post to Hap, but
 ML> it takes many a mini to make a maxi (old Scots proverb, I think).

Fabric wise, takes maybe a yard to make a mini skirt, 3 or 4 to make a
maxi. (G)

 ML>  As if!  Even the Bible talks about there being "wars and rumors
 RH> of wars" thru out man's history.

 ML> Yup, although it also at times points out that killing isn't
 ML> such a great thing. After all, it is a descriptive as well as
 ML> a prescriptive document.

Very true. And it seems half (or more) of the world has their own
interpretation of it or any other work they may hold sacred.

 RH> Hmmmm, have to see if there's a machine recipe similar.  I can't knead
 RH> very well these days so use a machine for our bread making.

 ML> Here's something both machine and southern:

 ML> ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.05

 ML>       Title: LISA'S CORNY BREAD
 ML>  Categories: Breads, Breadmaker
 ML>    Servings: 10

I'll have to give it (or similar) a try.  I know the yeasties need sugar
to eat but I was taught by a southern lady that sugar never goes into
corn bread. (G)

 ML>        1 1/2 ts Dry Yeast
 ML>       1 tb Sugar                             7/8 c  Milk; warmed
 ML>       1 ts Salt                              1/4 c  Water; + enough
 ML> for dough     1/2 c  Yellow Cornmeal                 1 1/2 tb Butter

I don't have to warm liquid for the new machine.  Made the mistake of
doing so the first time or two and it didn't come out right so read the
book a bit more closely. The auto preheat cycle does a nice job of
getting everything the same temperature; Saturday I had forgotten to get
the gluten out of the fridge when I got the flour out to warm up to room
temp.  Put in the gluten cold and still got a pretty loaf.  We're doing
the flour by weight now as it seems to give a more consistant good
outcome.
