OK, just so you know ahead of time, I'm doing this post so I can practice light conversation. I've come to the conclusion that one reason I have a hard time posting regularly, is because I'm just not good with light conversation. Give me a good meaty topic and I can go on and on, but cheery, light, this and that chatter is hard work for me. I really think that's why some of my children were slow talkers, you know they say moms are supposed to talk to their babies, well I just couldn't. So, I'm thinking if I get on here to post and just start typing something, maybe I'll can get better at chattering. My schoolgirl side wants to do an idea sheet first, then a rough draft, edit and then finally post on my blog.
Oh yeah, I finally found a way to fix brown rice that my family will eat it. We have no problem with most other whole grain products, but we just couldn't handle brown rice. Alton Brown has a recipe out that has you bake it in the oven and it works- nice fluffy rice!

Well, that's all the time I have for "exercising" my brain right now. Fire to stoke, supper to fix, schoolwork to check (note to self: hand out more smiles to the children this evening!) Oh no, that thought is putting me on the serious track again- the power of a mother's smile. Yeah it's a good thought, don't want to throw that one out. Oh, this is tough. I really want to delete all this and do it the right way, but I'm going to leave it. I can do this!! I promise there won't be many of these kinds of posts, it's just not me. But if you do something 7 times regularly, it's supposed to become a habit. So, until my blogging habit is established, please bear with me or just ignore my blog for awhile.
