Grinding wheat...

Why did grinding wheat hold such fear for me? I've had it as a personal goal for many years now to grind wheat and make it into bread, like a good Mormon Mummy. I joke, but I know the health benefits of doing this (plus the benefits to my pocket - it's so much cheaper!). Yet, it's taken me until the 13th year of my marriage and my 12th year of mummy-hood to pluck up the courage to do this. I had very willing helpers, and actually can't take much credit again - I baked the bread, but Jason was the one who got the equipment out of the cupboard and the boys kept an eye on the little grinding machine as it whizzed away. A real family effort. It was so easy and our homemade bread tasted amazing. This is definitely going to become a weekly Sunday tradition in our home.
