You can freeze milk. There’s just two of us and I buy 3 gallons at a time and put it in my big freezer in the basement. Do you have a big freezer? You can also buy shelf stable milk for emergencies.

Yes! We freeze milk too! We just were out at the point of the storm. The store restocks on Sunday or Monday, so I go to the store Monday or Tuesday. The storm was Monday morning.

I'm so glad you got home safely in that storm and that you got your milk! Yes, the weather has been crazy in Florida too! We had a tornado warning last week - not only from my weather app but also the emergency alert with the loud alarm sound on my phone. BH, the tornado missed us! The Chabad house in Tallahassee was sideswiped by a tornado a couple of weeks ago but BH no one was hurt! I've been tempted for a while now by your sourdough baking skills and have been thinking about trying it. It actually looks easier to make than 'regular' dough. I don't see you kneading the dough (or am I missing that part?). I love kneading; it's very calming and relaxing but I can't do that any longer. Be well!

I think that it's great that your son wants to make gluten-free bread. It will stand him good in the future as he learns this and may go on to cooking other gluten-free food. It is a great example to your children that both their Father and Mother cook and bake. These are skills that everyone should have basic learning in, particularly when dietary needs are so different. When older if Mom gets sick then baking gluten-free muffins for outing treats helps out. Also Dad's traditional dishes getting taught to the children to carry on to the next generations.

Chana, I recommend you store evaporated milk in a can. You can find kosher. Yes it isn’t the same as fresh. You can add vanilla to enhance flavor and you dilute 1:1. I live in Hurricane Alley and that has helped me many a time during power outages. I learned to keep 1 - 2 weeks of food that I would eat. Longest I have been without power is about 20 days.

Hi Chana! Sounds like you’ve been through a hurricane. We had crazy storms here in Louisiana last week, also. We travel to Central America often, and the stores there sell a brand of milk on the shelves, in boxes, called Dos Pinos. Their website says it is kosher, but the milking of the cow is not observed by a rabbi. If that is something you can use, they probably sell it in Latino markets in the US. It tastes really good. Have a great week, enjoy the holiday, and hopefully no more crazy weather!

Glad to hear you are doing okay with all these storms. That sourdough looks great! I know how hard it is to bake when you have littles, you seem to manage it well. When mine were little I would get up really early to get my bread baked before the littles woke up. I don’t think I could have managed it with them awake. Too bad your park outing got rained out, but at least the children got some outdoor time. BTW, even if you hear thunder way in the distance, it is no longer safe to be outdoors. Lightning can strike ahead of a storm. Chag Sameach, Happy Shavuot!

@jaroffireflies 2 ай бұрын

I definitely do a lot early before the kids wake up too :) And the good thing about this recipe is that there is a little to do at various times, so I can pop in for a few minutes here and there and it works much easier than my challah recipe for me :)

As a result of the rain and her job as a home health nurse for a hospital, the transmission in the car we had at the time flooded out and my mom had to get fixed and not for the first time over the next 7 or 8 years.

Ms. Chana, I posted a picture of my shelving unit for my food storage. My dad set it up today. Slowly we are getting my apartment in good order. I'd like my dad to store my clarinets or sell them somewhere. I unfortunately no longer play. I have a really nice wooden Buffet clarinet that must have costed like 1000 dollars, but it's old and probably needs a new mouthpiece, and new quarks and pads. Maybe they could go to a new student who can't afford one. I was talking to my friend who got a nice clarinet, and she was able to sell it back and broke even.

Baby Firefly isn’t a baby anymore. He is so grown up. How does that happen so quickly? Time is a thief. My youngest grand is starting pre-k in the Fall. I am pretty sure it was just last week I was in the delivery room with my daughter watching her being born. So excited to see how your son’s gluten free sourdough turns out. I know you all are also. Have a blessed week, holiday, and Shabbat.

Oh. The paddle you're using to mix the sourdough is interesting to me, as we've always used (wooden) sourdough sticks to mix it. Not sure if that's an Irish thing or not, but I used acacia sticks. $20 or so.

Rainy days are fun, except when you get caught in a storm while out and about. Baby Firefly isn't so much a baby anymore! 🥺 It's always unnerving when you realize they aren't gonna stay tiny forever. Glad you got the milk. I'd be stressing about that, too. Wish I was a bread baker but that just never took me over. I do have a bread machine. We used to make bread in the machine a lot when our daughter was little. The new machine hasn't even been used yet and I've had it for nearly 8 years! LOL That's what happens when your husband cuts out carbs and you know you should too! LOL Hope Shabbat went well and your guests had a great time. Love and prayers coming your way as always.💚

Hi Chana, hope the storms have finally passed & everywhere dried up and back to normal ! The weather here in the UK has been very mixed, mostly grey & rainy, does not seem that summer is going to appear anytime soon. But that's Okay because every where is green & lush. Hope you enjoy your holiday later on this week. See you next time :) PS for some reason I can't post any cute little emoji !!
