I can't describe how refreshed we feel just looking at the Hills, let alone spending an afternoon in them.<br /><br />My husband and I will head up there with the flimsiest excuse. :)<br /><br />And the Mountain Goats are semi-wild. They're native to the mountain regions west of us, but were introduced here in the 1920's. The population here seems to stay close to Mt. Rushmore, which makes sense. They like the higher, rockier areas, and the part of the Hills around Mt. Rushmore fit that description.<br /><br />They aren't hunted and are used to tourists, so they will put up with a lot. Just don't try to pet one, though. They'll be off before you can say "Bob's your uncle!"<br /><br />I hope your bread turns out!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-69218290068412189602014-04-21T09:23:03.803-04:002014-04-21T09:23:03.803-04:00The secret to making bread is to make sure there a...The secret to making bread is to make sure there are plenty of people around to share it with.<br /><br />One roll worth of carbs...well...of course I'm going to have that.

But as smaller rolls? I can imagine they'd be even crunchier.<br /><br />They take a few different skills than these soft sweet rolls.<br /><br />Even so, my family requests "Crusty Bread" often - especially if I'm making soup. I haven't made it in a while, though.

Her life got extremely hectic, between all the things she does plus helping her husband recover, so she took a bit of a break. But she'll be back with us soon.<br /><br />Thanks for missing her!

When they rise, resist the urge to pummel - coax them into the shapes you want. Give them time to grow. And then stick 'em in the oven.<br /><br />No guts, no glory :)Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-19467774839611011592014-04-21T08:13:52.823-04:002014-04-21T08:13:52.823-04:00Hmmm...don't think I haven't notices you s...Hmmm...don't think I haven't notices you swapped a gratuitous puppy pic for a gratuitous goat pic! Man is he furry! And here's a city slicker question...are they 'wild' mountain goats? Or is there a goatherd out there somewhere? :-)<br /><br />You live in an incredible part of the world, Jan. What a blessing!<br /><br />And thanks for the bread recipe. I'm going to give it a go. I had a great recipe that I used for years -- got it from an old Seventeen magazine. It was wonderful and then I lost it and couldn't make bread any more. I mean literally no other recipe worked. Bah! Likely all in my head, however, I'm willing to give this one a go and see what happens.Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-23254148142230799362014-04-21T06:40:29.276-04:002014-04-21T06:40:29.276-04:00Oh, that mountain goat!!!!!

I use the French bread recipe from the joy of Cooking and it works every time... but when I've tried to make it smaller, they're just... crunchy. Which makes sense.<br /> And that proposal story made me smile... mostly because I wonder whether he was confident or just careful. Wouldn't it be hard to say "no" when both of your extended families were watching??<br /> Love those goats!Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-64898090415510102142014-04-21T00:19:30.148-04:002014-04-21T00:19:30.148-04:00still sounds too complicated for me but one of the...still sounds too complicated for me but one of these days I'm gonna practice this til I get it right...along with biscuits!<br /><br />hey what happened to Julie? she disappeared and it was about the time I wasn't checking in too often...seems like her hubby got sick or something I remember reading something about that but haven't seen her here.<br /><br />for 3 hours of work you should have held out for quadrupled allowance LOL!<br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-6736532879430171942014-04-21T00:12:20.934-04:002014-04-21T00:12:20.934-04:00I am very impressed.
