Rye

We visited Arthur’s house this afternoon for dinner. Afterword, he showed me his new hand cranked flour mill that he traded with a client for writing up a will. (You gotta love a lawyer that barters.) He just happened to have some Rye grain in the freezer, so we cracked ourselves some rye grain.

Making flour!

Here are the kids in the process.. sorry, i did not get any video of them actually cranking it, just re loading it to make it a little finer.

We made Rye biscuits afterwords. They were not the best biscuits in the world, but Rockwell and Melinda liked them!
