Beer Bread ? I'm game to give it a try

From a Trusted Co-Worker here at Ethos

Hippy Beer Bread from Fairbanks Alaska

3.5 c of whole wheat flour,
1/4 c of brown/organic sugar
Pinch of salt
Small handful of oats (optional)
1 egg
2 pinches of herb of choice - dill, marjoram, thyme...
1 beer (Guinness Stout works really well)


Put dry ingredients in bowl, make indentation, beat egg in middle and add
beer (stand back and admire foaming action) stir until moist, plop onto a
cookie sheet or greased glass bowl - into a 375 degree oven for an hour.

Makes a dense and delicious breakfast bread - great with butter and spreads!

March

Spring is taking its time leaving now that winter has finally settled in. Making up for lost time December and January, warm winds are far off and continue to be pushed away by a cold that is deep and raw.

What I'm Reading - Dubliners - James Joyce

Trying my hand at some short stories to prepare for the trip in the spring. I gave up on the London book...

"Dubliners is a collection of vignettes of Dublin life at the end of the 19th Century written, by Joyce’s own admission, for the most part in a style of scrupulous meanness."

Amos Lee - Shout out Loud

Michelle and i saw this guy at a lunch time in studio concert at WCLZ last week. It was very cool to see someone who clearly has natural born talent actually enjoying what he does. No straining and over singing like we are bombarded with on American Idol. Pictures here http://www.989wclz.com/gallery/amoslee-studioz?page=1
