So I should have posted this yesterday.. but I just decided to make it today. It would be good to eat any day, though, not just St Patrick’s Day!! My 5 year old daughter and I made this bread this morning and I am impressed with it- it’s really good! It has a bit of a whole wheat taste to it and is very moist.

So tonight we celebrated “Friendsgiving”, a tradition we have had for at least a couple years with our home group (Bible Study). Last year we did it on Canadian Thanksgiving- which is on October.

It’s not really that expensive- I can usually get it for around $1 a box making it a pretty cheap treat at .33. But it never tastes right to me- it always seems “chemically”.
