And a mill wheel grinding
Would you miss your colored blouse
And your soft shoes shining?

California Snow म्हणाले...: I remember grinding stuff like that by hand. Then my parents bought a big stone grinder and life was much easier. The impact grinders now are much louder but also work well and are quite fast.; २४/२/२१, ३:४८ PM
Tomcc म्हणाले...: There's some history in that grinder! Glad to see it being put to proper use. Also: get a bigger bowl and clean up that mess!; २४/२/२१, ३:४८ PM

Skeptical Voter म्हणाले...: Hard red winter wheat--it's a northern thing. Nothing like the soft wheat that goes into southern biscuits.

But here in foodie Los Angeles there are a couple of "artisanal shops" that will grind flour to your order.; २४/२/२१, ४:१५ PM

He clamped that coffee grinder to your new countertops??

Disappointing. I expected surprise ending when countertop breaks.
And, not the only one here who figured they could hook up a cordless drill to that old thing.; २४/२/२१, ४:४२ PM

Indeed! I wish northern states sold White Lily flour.; २४/२/२१, ४:५३ PM

Charlie Currie म्हणाले...: My mother and grandmothers had grinders like that for grinding meat and hash. Would like to have one now, but I don't have a counter or breadboard or table to clamp it on to.

I have each of those. My breadboard sits atop my counter, which is granite and doesn't have a lip to attach it to, nor does my Danish dining table.

Modern problems.; २४/२/२१, ५:१७ PM
wildswan म्हणाले...: Wheat dreams
Are made of this,
The gluten-sensitive sigh.
Wheat dreams;
Days gone by.

More practically, I firmly decided to get that Trader Joe bagel-topper so as to get that bagel taste on my gluten-free cardboard "bagels." And I think I'll use the stimulus to get a doughnut pan. (If I ever see that check which the Dems have cut down from the $2000 they promised.); २४/२/२१, ५:५५ PM

In Joe Biden's world, that was a Harold Lloyd TV show.; २४/२/२१, ७:२७ PM

Bunkypotatohead म्हणाले...: Barley malt is easier to mill and you can make something useful and tasty to drink with it.
I don't know what use winter wheat would be.; २४/२/२१, १०:३४ PM
Quaestor म्हणाले...: Did you grind it up into the bread?!

Probably a reference to everything in an old-fashioned mill being covered in flour dust.

I used to buy alfalfa cubes and crimped oats at a country watermill. The owner converted to an engine-driven mill at some point in the past, but the waterwheel and the mill race were still usable. If asked, the miller would put the wheel in gear and the runner stone would begin to turn. White flour dust coated everything.; २४/२/२१, १०:३९ PM
Bob म्हणाले...: SF writer Cedar Sanderson posted a recipe for Russian Black Bread and eating the results, and I commented there that I'd like to try medieval barley bread at some point, and she replied that it, too, is hard to grind. I linked your video in her comments.; २५/२/२१, २:०० AM

Tomato, tomahto, potato,potahto. Let's call the whole thing off.; २५/२/२१, ७:४९ AM

Ryan म्हणाले...: "Skeptical Voter said...But here in foodie Los Angeles there are a couple of "artisanal shops" that will grind flour to your order."

LA has some good bread. I was at Lodge Bread Co. in Culver City yesterday and bought a delicious whole grain loaf - they mill their own wheat and also will sell you fresh ground 80/20 flour.

Growing up, my parents had a two wheat mills, one electric and one like the one Mead is using. I grew up on homemade fresh milled 100% whole wheat bread and cracked wheat hot cereal for breakfast. They would buy huge bags of Montana winter wheat for food storage.
My parents were VERY frugal and never splurged on anything, but this ended up being a very economical and delicious way to raise 7 children, with only one parent working.; २५/२/२१, २:३६ PM
Ann Althouse म्हणाले...: "All I know is, AA and Meade have our same cabinets (or very close) which we are now in the process of painting after 22 years : )"

You have maple cabinets and you're painting over the natural wood? I can't understand that. My cabinets are 30 years old, but in fine condition. I can't imagine painting them!; २६/२/२१, ५:११ AM
