a bread recipe

Oops ... somehow this post did not upload.  So here we go a bit later than expected. :) 

Earlier this week, a work colleague gave me a slice of her homemade bread.  It was so tasty that I asked her for the recipe and then made it on Saturday.  It's a super easy one (once you find all the healthy ingredients, that took me a while, since things aren't always that easy to find over here).  It doesn't have to rise ... the annoying part was scratching the dough out of the mixing bowl and into a loaf pan.  Between two meals and a few snacks here and there, Felix and I ate over half of it in two days!  I think adding honey would make it really tasty, too.  It reminded me of the Honey Oat bread that Subway has, which I LOVE!  I may have to try that sometime...any ideas on how much honey I could add?

Irish Soda Bread

3 1/2 cups whole meal flour
4 tbsp oats
3 tbspwheat bran (or wheat germ)
1 tbsp flaxseed (I actually left this out)
2 tbsp brown sugar (or less, that's what my husband would prefer!)
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
A little less than 2 cups buttermilk (you can make butter milk by putting 2 tbsp of apple vinegar with a little less than 2 cups of milk together)

Mix the dry ingredients together, add the milk, bake at 400F/200C for about 40 minutes.

Enjoy!  Let me know if you like it and if you try it w/ honey!! :)

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how they didn't

a little check in on life over here

-- We had our "big reveal" on facebook. It looks like we'll be having another little girl! We're thrilled for a little sister for Zoey, plus the bonus of recycling all our baby girl clothes is awesome! But most importantly, baby is healthy and all is looking well!-- -- The weather here has been so great. We've been meeting lots of friends at playgrounds and parks and going for walks. It's fun to be able to play on the playground with Zoey now that she can walk and do things! But also very tiring for this pregnant mama! --  -- We've been doing lots of house things ... looking at doors, fences, different types of floors, kitchen appliances, etc. Next WEEK , they will start the digging part of building the house and then the following week , the basement will be built!! YAY, things are finally getting started!! So curious to see how all this is going to go. We stopped some new neighbors and introduced ourselves and let them now things wi

Done w/ orientations!!

On Thursday, the last day of orientations was completed! All the new staff has had a busy last 3 weeks, but they were very informative (sometimes overload on information though). It feels great to be done with orientations and to be starting school. School starts on Monday and things at the school have been crazy trying to get things ready to go. There is a rather large construction project taking place at the school and we have been working on that since the construction workers are behind schedule ... we've been tearing off paint, repainting, cleaning, etc. My classes will not start until Thursday, since elementary has half days until then. I'm so thankful for the extra time to get things done and be prepared for my classes. I'm a bit unsure as of what to do in classes ... so I'm hoping I'll come across some great ideas! Prayers for this are greatly appreciated!
