So we're like pioneers, eh?

Today, we ran out of bread so instead of going to the store, I decided we'd make bread. I pulled out the bread machine and had an inkling for wheat bread. I dug into my food storage and retrieved a No. 10 can of wheat. I threw the wheat in the vitamix blender and watched it turn into flour. So while we measured the rest of the ingredients, I took the opportunity to talk to Maxine about food storage. I said that we have food storage in case of an emergency or times when we might not be able to afford food, etc. I also said that the pioneers used to make their own bread and sometimes grind their own wheat. So we loaded the bread maker and turned it on and as Maxine watched the dough mix, she said,

"So the pioneers didn't go to the store for bread??"

I said, "Nope, they made all their own bread."

Max-"So we're like pioneers, right Mom?"

Chuckling as I watch her stand over the bread machine, "Yep, we're like the pioneers."
