Weekly prep...

Breakfast bread for the week...
and a huge loaf of sourdough... for the week...
***
It is necessary for me to have a head start on my week... every week...
With Baseball practices, and games all over Southern California, volunteering, and running my businesses... the LAST thing I want to do is worry about what to make, for breakfast and dinner.
***
So I sliced up 8 onions, chopped up a bunch of peppers, shredded a boatload of carrots, washed 10 heads of lettuce, sliced up three cucumbers, and made all the lunch sandwiches for the week...
made four loaves of Hawaiian Sweet Bread and Sourdough Loaf for knoshing... (for my men, I am no longer eating bread of any kind)
in just a couple of hours last night...
I have to keep hitting hands and knives away from this bread when I make it... if I didn't keep a careful watch over it... it would literally be gone in one night...
So, I need to wrap each one up, and hide them in different places in the fridge and freezer, so they can have a nice big slice of homemade Hawaiian Bread Toast in the morning... with their eggs and coffee...
***
I'm almost to my 2 year Anniversary of not having purchased a loaf of any type of bread... no bagels, brioche, rolls, cinnamon rolls.. nothing... but homemade bread...
Now... when my family eats bread elsewhere... they say they can taste the difference, and don't like it much...
Yeah... I know... I'm setting my future Daughters in law up for failure...
I can't help it...
I don't want my family eating any processed foods with unnecessary sugars and preservatives... and this is my way of contributing to their health...
I'll just have to provide cooking classes for their future wives... or have them over for dinner all the time... and just love her in spite of her not being able to cook.. LOL
***
Yeah... that'll go over really well HUH???
Ha!

    All my boys cook up a storm... I used to make them prepare an entire meal a week... they hated it then... but now... when I'm gone on business trips... they never starve...
