There is just something about bread recipes. I made some apple bread a few weeks ago that turned out pretty well. I video taped the process, but haven't gotten around to producing it. When I do maybe I will post it here. No doubt it will be on YouTube.
Meanwhile, I have been on the hunt and found a great bread recipe. This is from a nice little blog. The pics of the bread make your mouth water. I will give it a try on my next oportunity.

Food Trays
While doing some research on sun-drying food I ran across a couple of good websites and blogs:
Healthy Garden has a nice all around article on preserving food.
I found a great page on food drying, by Marcella Schaffer. There are also some nice diagrams of various trays you can build for sun drying.
For the quick and dirty, along with a versatile design for a sun drying tray, check out the Preserve Food website.
I am getting ready for summer. I know it is still only early March, but one can dream. I am going to add to my store of trays for drying. I have big plans for the garden this year! And the way the economy is going, I might even turn my whole yard into a mini farm!

Bread History
I was just researching bread history. I found two very good ones. One I actually wrote myself a couple of years ago for BreadInfo. What got me on the kick was a fascinating article I read about St Anthony's Fire. It is about a fungus that comes off from some very wet grain and wreaks havoc on a small French town in the 1950s.
Besides the BreadInfo history of bread, there is a very good history of bread at the History of Food blog.
In the course of my review of bread history I find that there are those who see those who engage in bread making as revolutionaries or at least radicals. I think this may just be a romantic notion. If one considers baking as a trade, and its deep connections to the past, it is hard to reconcile this. Not only that, but more often than not bakers have been the victim of radicalism, as in the French revolution when bread riots were the order du jeur.
