Sunday night

Can't sleep. It is 10:45pm and I can't sleep.  We have a major snow/ice storm headed our way and I don't feel prepared. We are almost out of milk and we don't have any matches or lamp oil. 

I decided since I can't sleep I will do some laundry and make some bread.  We are almost out of bread and I need to make some anyway. I think I am going to make 1 load and try to use the rest for cinnamon rolls.  I am going to do the half wheat flour mixture again. It is probably healthier for us anyway.  Also trying something new- letting them rise in a warm oven instead of by the stove.  Also have a different recipe for the icing of the rolls- it is more of a glaze than an icing- just sugar and water-called a pastry glaze. Hope it will be good!

I ordered a cheese press kit tonight off of ebay.  Can't wait to make cheese!  Also am going to make butter!  I am sure we can get some milk from Craig Westfall (our neighbor that milks) if not my sister has been getting fresh milk from a lady in Humansville.  My sister has made cottage cheese and butter and have trying to build a cheese press to make cheese. 

Chris made a little door for my chicken house this morning.  Isn't the prettiest thing in the world, but it will do. 

will update on the rolls tomorrow.
