For good 'ole pioneer day in Georgia (which is not celebrated in Georgia), Daniel and I went to the ward activity. It was a retro activity. What would pioneers do for fun (and not so much for fun)? We had Dutch Oven cooking (which a real master was on it and we had some great beans and chicken pineapple thingy), a pie contest, wheat grinding, tug of war, and veggie car races (I know like the pioneers would waste their winter supply to make cars go down a ramp). Daniel and I really got into this wheat grinding. I personally have never seen a wheat grinder until that day, but I know that my mother has tins and tins of wheat that has probably gone bad at home. One of Daniel's primary boys was grinding a mass quantity for fun. We told him he had to make it finer for bread and that I would make him a loaf if he would grind it.
He had at least 30 cups of wheat already ground at this point. He started to put it through again and Daniel and I started to laugh because we were making this kid do all of the work so we could get some bread out of it. Other people would try to shoo this boy away to another activity, but he was dead set on getting his wheat ground for bread. Daniel and I kept laughing because it looked like we were hard task masters. Anyway we didn't get time to run the flour through one more time, so our flour was a little course and my bread ended up being a little flat, but I do have enough to make three more loafs. The bread was still pretty good.
