wheat demo

Sorry I didn't take pictures. I looked funny in my apron and cooking at the chapel. I got to do a demo on wheat since I am the ward emergency preparedness person. Basically all I did was to tell everyone how to do the family waffle recipe.

1 Cup Wheat
2 Cups Milk
Blend wheat and milk for 5 minutes

3 Tablespoons honey or sugar
2 eggs
½ square butter
1 teaspoon baking powder
Dash salt
1 cup white flour
Blend the rest of the ingredients in with the wheat and milk mixture, gradually adding ¼ cup of flour at a time.

Midnight Sun

Since I love reading Stephenie Meyer books, I thought I would mention Stephenie's post about Midnight Sun on her website. It's a bummer she is not going to finish Edward's perspective, it's only 264 pages so far. The first chapter has been up on her website for a while. (I should mention her brother Seth does a great job being the webmaster!)

Vice President

I have been emailing back and forth with one of my freshman roommates, Emily, about the election. Emily is really into politics, it is always fun to talk about it with her. So I had emailed her about McCain's VP selection speculation and Emily said it was going to be the Alaskan Governor. My first thought is, "who is that"? So I was completely shocked when McCain announced Sarah Palin the Alaskan Governor, but Emily was right, she is always right!

So I got to go to a Republican rally a couple of weeks ago where Mitt Romney spoke. Local politicians also spoke. I was disappointed that the locals didn't give reasons why I should vote for them besides being a Republican. I believe in voting for the person and not the party, so I wish they would have said why they were running for office.

Mom's Birthday # ?

It's my Mom's Birthday! If you ask her she will tell you she is 29 years old.

Gma's Mission Journal

So Aunt Sally typed up Grandma Jensen's mission journal. I stayed up Saturday night (yes, my date cancelled on me, but he had a good excuse) to read it. I was laughing, crying, etc, ... especially shocked at how many mission rules Grandma would have broken if she would have served now instead of in the 1940's. There is no way Grandma and Grandpa would have fallen in love nowdays!
