J-DAWGS For those of you that are unfamiliar with J-Dawgs. Words are hard to describe this bit of perfection. They are a polish sausage or beef hot-dog on a gourmet bun with special sauce, sourkrout, a pickel spear, jalapeƱos, onions and banana peppers.

Josh made sure that while Nathan & Natalie were here they were able to soak up some of the fine dining in Utah. CAFE RIO... oh yeah and...
I'm glad that we got to go and visit Ilene's grave site while the twins were in town.

Happy Birthday Brittani! July 25th --- 24 years old :)

Josh & Jason both have Monkey Ball downloaded on their iPod touch and the whole weekend was spent with the boys trying to top each other's high score.
Last month for Brittani's birthday Jason surprised her with Nathan and Natalie for a week. Josh & I loved to reap the rewards as well.

The Amazing Bread Recipe

10 1/2 C Four
1/2 C Sugar
1 T Salt
3 T Instant Yeast
3 T Lecithin (found in health food store)
4 C water

Add flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix. Add in lecithin, and water. Make the water as hot as the tap will allow before mixing in. I always end up adding a tablespoon or two more of water. You want it to stick to the sides. Once it is the right consistency mix for 5 min. in mixer. After mixing spray your hands and counter with Pam. Scrape dough onto counter and knead for a minute. This recipe makes 4 items. (ie One loaf of bread, one pizza, one tray of rolls, or one tray of bread sticks.) Sometimes I half the recipe when I don't want to make that many things. For bread you take a 1/4 the dough and shape it into a loaf. Let it raise for 25 min. and then cook it for 25 min. at 350. For pizza you roll it out in a pizza shape and without letting it raise put it in the oven at 425 for 15-20 min. There you have it YUM YUM!
