Time for an easy bread recipe with all purpose flour. No kneading, very simple, four ingredient bread. Just flour, water, yeast and salt. Nothing fancy, but you don't need a pan and it only takes about 10 minutes of actual work to make.
Freeze it if you won't use it right away as there's no preservatives in homemade bread. It goes stale quickly, but... if you freeze it, and let it thaw at room temperature, it comes back to about 95% of what it was the day you baked it.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups (200 grams) All Purpose Flour
2/3 cups (160 grams) Water
1 tsp (6 grams) Kosher Salt
1 tsp (5 grams) Yeast

Growing fresh sage is easy as long as you know a few details about sage's growth habits. We focus on our three sage plants that we started from cuttings to show you what might go wrong and how to correct it. Soil type, sun light amounts and watering all play crucial roles in a happy sage plant. Once you learn what makes sage happy, you can easily grow your own fresh sage.

Hydroponics Grow Kit by Surpcos unboxing and initial set up review! See first hand Derica's experience with this Grow Kit she found on Amazon. The pluses and minuses and what she suggests doing to optimize your usage of such a Hydroponics System. This is an NTF system or Nutrient film technique which involves growing plants by maintaining a coating of nutrient solution around the roots, without the use of a substrate. With this set up the nutrient solution is pumped through the system on a timed schedule of your choice. With the included pump you can choose a run time of 5, 15 or 30 minutes every 30, 60 or 120 minutes. With minimal investment of time and money you can get your own hydroponics NTF system up and running.

Viking Chili! This was an experiment with cooking with mead a few months ago, that I've since really improved upon. This Viking Chili is amazing. Rich, flavorful, and complex, with many layers of flavor. Using mead in cooking is a wonderful way to combine two of my hobbies together, and the particular mead you use can impart it's own personality to the dish, making everything even more unique. This, by the way, is my version of chili that I make all the time, with the addition of mead, it's become my go-to chili!
