Church dinner this Sunday

SharkE — Sat, 22 Nov 2025 17:18:54 GMT

My kitchen looks like a Tx tornado went thru it.

Everybody knows my speciality is bread. So far I

have 16 rolls rising.

4 loaves to go. I doubled up on real butter (this one time) yeast, eggs, milk.

After today I don't want to look at bread.

I'd rather have then sweets.

In my case, I use (just for myself) I can't believe it's not butter. For the people who aren't as strict as I am I put real butter in the recipe and half cup sugar between 2 loaves.

I butter mine with 'fake' butter.

I'm surprised for some reason home baked bread stays

fresh longer ? Some people have told me that when I give them bread it lasts for 4 days before drying out and going stale.

Store bought raisin bread doesn't last any time

@SharkE Your kitchen must smell heavenly.

I love baking but do not do as much as I did

when my five children still lived at home.

I got one gal who buys me a Christmas gift each yr.

Because I bake her and her husband bread through out the year. Poor thing has osteoporosis real bad can't stand for long. About 90. She came in one day with her cane and her cane came apart in 2 parts. She was able to grab the back of my chair before she almost fell.

I put the cane back together and twisted the end tight.

Bread is my downfall...I love it and would rather eat fresh baked bread than a meal.

Good quality butter on hot bread....I hear the angels sing.

How was the dinner, @SharkE ?

It went well ! Somebody made a very good banana bread. I took home couple pieces of that.

The brisket was really good. Shredded up.

The older lady took home what was left of one loaf of the bread I made. I just make it for the 'oldy' people table. Last yr they came and got it and took it in the kitchen for everybody. This time I made rolls and handed them off but kept the loaves of bread in my big ole Nash bag and I bought my own QVC saw knife.

One gal didn't want to make bread for thursday so she said "can I take yours and pass it off"? I laughed and said, "Sure, hun, but, by Thursday. can't guarantee if it will be as good as today".

So, as me and my pal was leaving it was pouring down rain ! We ran for the cars.

Good crowd, but, I've seen it busier.

One of my biggest regrets is not having my moms bread making skills. We often had bread.butter or hot rolls as our Friday night dinner! We all wanted that. No soup, salad or entree needed! My mom passed in 2000, and I never made bread with her. It was delicious!

@SharkE I'm sure yours is delicious!

If you see a recipe that calls for butter, (real butter, only time I use it. I make exceptions LOL) eggs, and sugar you can't go wrong.

Glad you have memories of your mother. Maybe she left her written recipes somewhere.

I never knew mine she died when I was 5.

That bread would be worth driving all the way across Texas to have lunch at your church. Have a blessed time with the fellowship and the food.

DH loves bread more than dessert........as a small child he would ask for another roll instead of dessert at restaurants.
