Hi Jackie

Happy New Year – great pictures of your addition and of Will too!

Love your videos – I was wondering if it would be possible for you to give us a video tour of your house – how you setup the pantry, kitchen, woodstove, heaters, how you organize your greenhouse – it would give us wanabes an idea for planning our own future homestead. (In summer maybe you can give us a tour of the farmstead outside).

Take care

I don’t blame you one bit!! And I don’t mind sending it to the office with extra to forward it. It is up to you.

Nancy,

Will you post your e-mail address so I can e-mail you directly? I’m a little leery about giving out my address to the “world”. There’s a few strange people out there~!

That is a good idea and I will try it. Thank you. I have some thing I made that I would like to send to you as a thank you for all your help and just because I like doing them and I love your collumn. Do I just send it to the magazine? I can do that and they can forward it to you. Again, thank you a bunch.

While I am an amateur in bread baking, I live in CA and have noticed a few things. My bread will not rise if the A/C is on, so in the summer I put it outside on the porch and it rises perfectly (loves that 95+ dry temp). If the temp is below 70 in the house and outside, I have to turn the oven on the lowest setting and sit the dough directly in front of the oven exhaust (gas oven), sometimes it still takes longer than normal. I also usually need to reduce the flour in the hot dry summers and add a bit more in the damp winters.
