A Whole Lot of Whole Grains
I thought you all might appreciate the ridiculousness of this story. My German language tutor, who is an exchange student from Germany, asked me to make and sell her a couple of loaves of bread for her parents who are coming to visit from Germany. A side note: this in itself is thrilling and pretty nervewracking. Anyhoo, I asked my boyfriend to pick me up 10 ounces of rye berries at the store, he said ok and went to the store. When he came back he said to me, "This sure seems like a lot, what are you doing anyway?" Well I looked in the bag and there sat two full plastic bags of rye berries. He got 10 pounds. Ten pounds. Now, I don't have a grain mill, so I can't make it into flour. I also tried grinding it up in my food processor which didn't work. I guess I'll just be making a lot of vollkornbrot! Good practice. Unless anyone has any other creative suggestions...
