FRIENDS

 Morning  all

Its extremely windy, the weather forecast is also predicting strong seas, the beaches where closed yesterday  due to Tropical cyclone "Seth"

With all the rain we had at least its not dusty.

Yesterday worked on Day 1 of the January Challenges for Cookin up Creations.

 The title of the challenge this month is " Just Like Grandma use to make " They all recipe challenges. Today we making Friendship Bread. I had not actually  heard of it. I actually had to google it . Its an Amish bread you make using a starter. I may just have to try and make it as the starter is supposed to last for years

So now time to gather our ingredients to create my layout.

 The instructions are:

1. The instructions for the bread starter have you mashing the bag for 5 days and then adding three ingredients--flour, sugar & milk. You are to select 2 colours plus white to represent the 3 ingredients.

2. The recipe calls for cinnamon to be an optional ingredient. Today we are making it a mandatory ingredient and you must use paint, ink, or misting to splatter your background paper.

3. 3 eggs are used. For the eggs you will be using 1 picture and 2 mats.

4. Baking powder helps to give it some height. Use pop dots or 3D embellishments to add dimension to your LO.

5. Nuts/raisins are also optional ingredients in the recipe but not here and for these you may use brads, buttons, eyelets, enamels.

6. The bread is typically baked in a rectangular pan so use a rectangular journal box to "label" your starter with the date.

7. And finally because this recipe is for sharing the picture needs to be of friends (family) and your title must have the word Friends in it.
