More Dough Please

My posts lately seem to all deal with food. Here in the desert there is no shortage of sharing recipes and ways to cook while on the road. Yesterday, Mary held cooking class 101 in our trailer. Now if you know our trailer you may wonder how can someone hold a cooking class in that little space. Although tight, she did manage to squeeze in her students and all left with sour-dough bread almost ready for the oven. Take a look.

Here Sherri, Tony, Mike, Mary and Phil check recipes on-line. It's remarkable the way we can get and share information at the click of a button.

Kneading the dough, a critical step in the production of bread. One soon learns when the dough is ready by the texture of the ball.

While the cooking class was going on Mike came over to get our blog address and check out our battery Tri-metric Meter. This device lets us monitor the battery, check on the charge level and see how many amps are going in our out of storage.

Tuesday was testing day. The breads were baked and brought to "Happy Hour" to be sampled. Every one was delicious and appreciated. They all disappeared very quickly. Don't be late for "Happy Hour" if you want to enjoy the samples. Doesn't that look good?
