You scored as a Gardenwitch

This witch knows how to make things grow. A Gardenwitch practices her magick and rituals mostly in a cultivated garden. She studies herbs, flowers, veggies and anything you would grow in a garden. As well she will study the cycle of the seasons, climate, weather, when to plant, when to harvest and such. She will have a well-tended yard and garden, and love to spend her free time weeding, planting, pruning and tending her lawn and garden. Her tools will mostly be garden tools and natural, practical tools she has crafted herself. Such as pruning shears, a shovel or digging stick, a garden trowel, a watering can, wooden wands and staffs, and besoms. She will have a shrine and/or altar set up in her garden, and possibly in her home as well. Her patron deities and Goddess will likely be deities of agriculture, the harvest, and nature.

Arizona Rain Storm

Coming from the North

Moving fast

It's here

This all happend in less than 30 minuets.

 

For everyone out there who is Gluten Intolerant, here is my sour dough flat bread recipe.

Sour Dough Starter

Ingredients:

Rice Flour

Yeast

Water

Start with 1Cup Rice Flour.

Add enough water so that it resembles a thick pancake batter.

Add 1package of yeast and mix well.

I don't like a real strong sour flavor so I only set my starter out for 30 - 45 minuets before putting it in the refrigerator. You can adjust this to your own taste.

After you have used what you need for your bread, feed your starter by adding ½ C. rice flour (or amount equal to what you have taken out) and enough water so once again it resembles a thick pancake batter.

As long as you feed your starter, it will last forever. The longer you have it, the better it gets.

Be sure and store it in a glass container. I use mason jars for this purpose.

"Do Not"

Leave starter on the counter with the lid tightened down. It will literally blow it's top and you will have a mess to clean up.

(The voice of experience speaking. Lol)

Sour Dough Flat Bread

Ingredients:

½ C. Starter

1 egg

Water

1 ½ C Rice Flour

Salt

1 T Oil

I mix my batter in a 4 C measuring cup, it's easier to measure this way.

Start with ½ C starter. Add egg and enough water to make 2 cups.

Beat well.

Add rice flour a ½ cup at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Add oil and salt.

Let set overnight and cook as you would pancakes.

(You can cook it right away, but it doesn't brown or raise as well as if you let your it set a few hours. I like to make my batter one morning and then cook my bread the next morning. The longer it sets, the better it gets.)

I store my batter in the refrigerator until I am ready to use it, making only as many cakes as I will need at one time. They tend to dry out and get tough if made too far ahead.

You can adjust the amount of flour according to how thick or thin you like your bread.

This is a work in progress and after you use it awhile, you will find yourself adding something here or reducing something else there. Use your own taste for the finished product.

I eat my flat bread the same way I ate regular bread. I make sandwiches with it, butter it hot and eat it with soup or stew, I even eat it as a shortcake with fruit and whipped cream on top.

With a little imagination you can find all kinds of ways to use it.

Quiz Time

Wind! Wind! Wind! I am so tired of the wind. Right now, at 6:09 PM, it is 98 degrees with 8% humidity and 23 mile an hour winds. When you step outside it's like walking into a blow dryer.

My poor herb garden is looking so sick. Everything is limp and tinged with yellow. Nothing seems to be growing at all. It just sits there looking ill. I have been watering today since 6 AM this morning and the ground around the ones I watered first is already bone dry.

What we need is another of those nice slow soaking showers the Mother sent us a couple of weeks ago. Our monsoons are supposed to have started, but we won't see much rain from them until sometime next month if even then.

Oh well, enough sniveling. I just needed to vent a little. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Love and Blessings
