Quitting, breaking (or baking! LOL) bread & everything in between!

First of all, might I ask a small prayer favour of you. Hubba has decided to quit smoking. His last smoke was Friday evening before bed. As of 8 this morning, he still had not caved and stopped by any "quickie-marts." I, of all people close to him, know how hard this is. I was there a mere 7+ months ago (BIG PRAISE!).

Onto bread...... I have the stuff in the bread machine for hamburger buns. I have made them by hand before and have fingers crossed that the machine can help me out with that, and actually turn uot nummy! I also have Mrs. Cat's French Bread Recipe rising on the counter. Dinner will be going into the crockpot as soon as I post this. Boneless country style pork ribs, smothered in BBQ sauce. Mashed taters to follow, green beans and of course, French bread. I think ramekins of applesauce on the side. Delish! Lunch will follow commencement of crockpot setup. We are having ramen and tofu & mixed veggies today. I haven't prepared tofu before but I keep reading and hearing that it takes on the flavour of the spices you use. And what more potently flavourful than sodium-laden ramen broth powder? LOL

Later I will begin testing the boys on their reading levels. I have picked up 2 copies of each, Old Yeller as well as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. I will be reading "alongside" them, so to speak. Both are blowing me away with their reading skills, so I'm sure they'll be fine!

Laundry is going, the house is peaceful, and right now, life is pleasant. I hope all of you are as blessed as I've already been today!

Love in His name.....

Well you have been a busy bee!
I think the delicious smell of bread baking will help keep your husband distracted from his cravings!

The much requested COUPON BINDER! A how-to pictorial

First you start with a LARGE 3-ring binder . I was able to get about a dozen of these for 50-75¢ each at a thrift shoppe, brand new. Mine are from a business complete with logo, but that's ok. 50-75¢ sure beats 8 bucks at Wal-mart. Plus mine DOES have a front pocket, in case I want to make it a bit purtier. Some people prefer a zippered binder. These are GREAT if you can afford the dough for a LARGE one. This one is especially great as it has a handle for carrying. You'll also need some pocket pages . I prefer the 4-per-page pages. The pockets are a little bigger, which is GREAT for those LONG coupons (which stick out, so I fold them in half) and those WIDE coupons, and especially for holding more coupons than their miniature counterparts! Now others have had luck with other pages. They come in 1-pocket (also known as sheet protectors, which we'll be using as well- we'll get to that later), 2 pocket, 4-pocket, 5-pocket, 6-pocket, 8-pocket; 9-pocke t. Anything with more...
