Rye Bread

It's hard to find good dark rye bread so I occasionally make it.  This time I halved the recipe which was still enough for two loaves.  My all-time favorite recipe is from an old  Fleischmann's bread book.  It's a paperback and the cover is torn and folded but within those pages are some of the best bread recipes ever.  I see a reuben sandwich in my immediate future.  Yum, yum!

It's All About The Kids

IT’S ALL ABOUT THE KIDS

More than 100 come together in December.  They are varied - some in leathers and some not; female and male; young and old.  There’s the burley, tough-looking group and the clean-

cut professional-looking crowd.  Many are wearing Santa hats.  Some ride alone.  Some have a passenger.  They are laughing and 

having a good time together.  And they are supporting a great cause - Toys For Tots.

The bikes are piled with stuffed animals, dolls and other toys.

Some have other festive touches like garland or miniature wreaths.

The chrome shines and the engines emit that typical motorcycle

roar.  Their presence is known and they are welcomed.

They pass through town as a group, two or three bikes abreast. 

There’s a police escort and intersections are cleared.  It’s well

organized and the riders are cheered.  They wave to the crowd.

Motorcyclists don’t always have a good reputation but in this case

they are revealing their tender, caring side and are making a 

totally awesome contribution!
