Take a look at a few of the
Recipes you’ll receive:

EGG BREAD.

9 ozs. fine whole meal, 1 egg, a bare 1/2 pint milk and water, butter size of walnut.

Put butter in a qr. qtn. tin (a small square-cornered tin price 6-1/2d. at most ironmongers) and let it remain in hot oven until it boils. Well whisk egg, and add to it the milk and water. Sift into this liquid the whole meal, stirring all the time. Pour this batter into the hot buttered tin. Bake in a very hot oven for 50 minutes, and then move to a cooler part for another 50 minutes. When done, turn out and stand on end to cool.

GEM BREAD.

Put into a basin a pint of cold water, and beat it for a few minutes in order to aerate it as much as possible. Stir gently, but quickly, into this as much fine whole meal as will make a batter the consistency of thick cream. It should just drop off the spoon. Drop this batter into very hot greased gem pans. Bake for half an hour in a hot oven. When done, stand on end to cool. They may appear to be a little hard on first taking out of the oven, but when cool they should be soft, light and spongy. When properly made, the uninitiated generally refuse to believe that they do not contain eggs or baking-powder.

There are proper gem pans, made of cast iron (from 1s.) for baking this bread, and the best results are obtained by using them. But with a favorable oven I have got pretty good results from the ordinary baking-tins with depressions, the kind used for baking small cakes. But these are a thinner make and apt to produce a tough crust.

HOT WATER ROLLS.

This bread has a very sweet taste. It is made by stirring boiling water into any quantity of meal required, sufficient to form a stiff paste. Then take out of the basin on to a board and knead quickly with as much more flour as is needed to make it workable. Cut it into small rolls with a large egg-cup or small vegetable cutter. The quicker this is done the better, in order to retain the heat of the water. Bake from 20 to 30 minutes.

OATCAKE.

Mix medium oatmeal to a stiff paste with cold water. Add enough fine oatmeal to make a dough. Roll out very thinly. Bake in sheets, or cut into biscuits with a tumbler or biscuit cutter. Bake on the bare oven shelf, sprinkled with fine oatmeal, until a very pale brown. Flour may be used in place of the fine oatmeal, as the latter often has a bitter taste that many people object to. The cause of this bitterness is staleness, but it is not so noticeable in the coarse or medium oatmeal. Freshly ground oatmeal is quite sweet.

RAISIN LOAF.

1 lb. fine whole meal, 6 oz. raisins, 2 oz. Mapleton's nutter, water.

Well wash the raisins, but do not stone them or the loaf will be heavy. If the stones are disliked, seedless raisins, or even sultanas, may be used, but the large raisins give rather better results. Rub the nutter into the flour, add the raisins, which should be well dried after washing, and mix with enough water to form a dough which almost, but not quite drops from the spoon. Put into a greased tin, which should be very hot, and bake in a hot oven at first. At the end of twenty minutes to half an hour the loaf should be slightly browned. Then move to a cooler shelf, and bake until done. Test with a knife as for ordinary cakes.

For this loaf a small, deep, square-cornered tin is required (price 6-1/2d.), the same as for the egg loaf. 3 ozs. fresh dairy butter may be used in place of the 2 ozs. nutter.

SHORTENED BREAD.

Into 1 lb. whole meal flour rub 4 ozs. nutter or 5 ozs. butter. Mix to a stiff dough with cold water. Knead lightly but well. Shape into small buns about 1 inch thick. Bake for an hour in a moderate oven.

Top Ten Ways to Get More Out of Life

What is your life like? Do you spend 2.6 hours a day watching mindless TV? The average American does. If you're ready to get more out of your day and more out of your life you have hit the jack pot.

Here are your top ten ways to get more out of your day and more out of your life;

Way Ten

Become a goal setter. To do this you need to take those ideas that are rattling around in your head, write them down put a date of when you will accomplish each and get going. Some times it can feel overwhelming to try and tackle a big goal so take a few minutes and break the goal down into manageable bites and take each bite at a time.

Think of it this way if today you are eating a mini slider hamburger, once you set your goals and start working toward them you'll be eating a regular size hamburger and when you begin reaching your goals you will be eating a gourmet burger. It gets better when goal setting becomes second nature to you this is when you'll be eating prime rib.

Way Nine

Think through your day before your day begins. Each day I start with a list of the things that I am going to accomplish that day. Then when I get to the point where I am loosing focus and start surfing the internet I am able to go back to my list see what still needs done and get back on track.

Way Eight

My dad used to say The Early Bird Catches the Worm. This is really true. Start setting your alarm for 5am and get up. No more snoozing or sleeping in until mid morning. I get more done in the 2 hours before everyone else is awake then I get done all morning long. It's a lot easier to focus and stay focused when no one is interrupting you.

Way Seven

Organize your life. Find a place for everything and keep it in its place. If you live in a house with a spouse and kids you know this is not an easy task. But, once you get organized and keep organized you will save countless hours of wasted time looking for things.

When I was young my mom and I would spend hours looking for the scissors, she still can never find her scissors. In my house the scissors are in the kitchen next to the knives. When my kids need them they know where to go. This means no wasted time with mom looking for the scissors.

Way Six

File your mail when it comes in. If its junk mail toss it out. If it's a bill pay it. If it needs answering answer it. If it needs filing file it. Simple as that. No clutter, no mess, no wasted time.

Way Five

Don't waste a minute. We are each given 24 hours in a day. If we waste our time we never get it back. I keep motivational tapes in my car so I can listen while I drive. My husband always has a book in his brief case so if he is waiting for a client he can read. The idea is if you have 5 extra minutes use them, if you waste them you will never get them back.

Way Four

Eat healthy, live healthy, be healthy. Your body is fueled by what you put into it and what you do with it. The basic prescription is get enough rest everyday, eat healthy foods and exercise. Now did I really need to tell you this?

Way Three

Avoid negative people like the plague. Negative people will do nothing but drag you down. If you just can not remove them from your life then limit the amount of time you spend with them. This can be hard when it is a family member or co-worker but you can do it, and you'll be glad you did.

Way Two

When I was in school I had a teacher that said garbage in equal's garbage out. What he meant was this if you fill your mind with trash content then all you will think is trash content. In basic terms, turn off the TV and read a quality book instead. Really think about what you are reading, watching and listening to.

Way One

The number one way to get more out of life is to stop making excuses. When I was in school I spent the afternoon with a young man who made sure that I knew he was held back because of his race, age and dyslexia. All I could think when he was talking was my dyslexic brother is a lawyer, my father died when I was 12 leaving mom and I struggling to make ends meet and I was a shy girl. Yet I never made excuses for anything I did. I got up in the morning, I set goals and I worked hard to reach my goals.

I often wonder if he is still making excuses for his life or if he finally stood up and took responsibility. How about you, are you still making excuses?

If you want more out of life then get up get going and do it. Like I said, I'm just a poor orphaned shy girl who wears glasses. Wait a minute that's not me. Let's try this again. Like I said, I'm just a successful online entrepreneur who is getting more out of life and having more fun doing it than she ever thought possible. Now that's better. Don't you agree?
