Our Garden, Sunday rest

Altar Breads

Ryan Kraeger

The very first thing we made with our home-grown, home-milled wheat flour.

Added water (and nothing else) to make a batter of a soupy consistency. Dropped on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. After about 5 minutes at 400 degrees we took them out and traced crosses in them, then baked them for another 5 minutes. They were still a little soft, so we broiled them for about 2 minutes on low.

We picked the best 6 and took them to Mass with us on Sunday and gave them to Fr. Dean. He is going to use them in his private Masses and pray for our family.

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest, and he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, so that you may be accepted.

Leviticus 23:9-11a.

"I only remember the very first part of the book where he described the man of steel and velvet and I remember the deep chord that phrase struck. I remember the image I had of a hand of living steel wearing a velvet glove, a hand that could crush or caress, strike a killing blow or wipe away tears, lift mountains or cradle an infant. The rest of the book was an afterthought." From an essay about Aubrey Andelin's "Man of Steel and Velvet".
