Tired

I ran all over to Safeway and Savemart looking for wheat berries to go with the dried fruit I had soaking. Finally at 1 a.m. I remembered that in addition to whole wheat gluten I got some at Nobb Hill where the rich people live in Los Gatos. I tried to chop the 3/4 c in the Cuisinart, It may have split them but nothing really happened. They need a food mill like Kirk uses. I wonder if the coffee grinder in the store would do it without tasting too much like coffee if I try to clean it there. Anyway it was 1 amd I threw them in the dried fruit soaking water and threw them after an hr back into the Cuisinart. It may have split them and chopped them in half but not much more. They needed every bit of the 90 min soak. I gave them almost that, not enough, and threw them into the bread mix. I hoped the yeast fed off the gluten and world rise. I added the slurry and flipped the dough hook on the kitchen aide and went back to bed to reading and since it was late almost fell asleep. I put the product on a flowered board. I prepared 2 bread pans, kneaded it a bit and placed them in the oven to rise for an hr.. Finally, at 4 I baked them for 30 min with only one rising. The first hot slice freaked me out because the wheat berries could have cracked a tooth. The next two were delicious if u discount the fact that you need to dodge the wheat berries. They will pass and clean the colon I guess!
Kirk is comming at 4. Unfortunately he will test and judge my poor efforts. There were a few other things too, like too much honey and one other thing, either the milk or the olive oil.
I hadn't used this set of measuring spoons in a long while and I used the 1T spoon and put it in to soak and then saw another and used it, but belatedly saw it was 4T! HA! It was late or early and I was too tired to be doing that.

I'm off to teach. I volunteer 1 hr 2x a week with a 2nd grader, teaching reading. In addition, I'm volunteering in the library, They are having a book fair. Since I've done 4, the least I can do is help. I get to see that new books are out I've missed too. For elementary, Emily.
