I got up this morning with the thought that despite the warm weather I should make another batch of crackers. I decided to try a new method with the sweet ones, and ended up changing part of the method for both the sweet and the savory types.
I had decided after the last batch of sweet crackers I had made that in order to keep them from getting too dark around the edges I would substitute honey for part of the water I boiled the flax seeds in, instead of for the water added at the end of the process. That did seem to turn out well, as did the method of stirring in the flour in small amounts , which was a necessity since I ran out of 1/4 cup measuring cups, so I added the flour by tablespoons instead. The finished products definitely benefited from these changes.
I am ending up the day with another cooking project, this time a chicken dish I am taking to the International floor potluck luncheon after the recognition ceremony. Loosely following another recipe from my daughter, I am currently cooking carrot, onion, garlic and celery, along with some oregano, in broth made from a rotisserie chicken carcass. Got to admit it smells really good!
At the library I helped a couple of guests, but always with English, not International records. In both cases, however, it seemed that the guests were in the correct wrong place. One was a former missionary on the floor who wanted to do some extraction in her own language, which was not available. She did do part of a batch of records that were difficult to read, and then I found her an easier batch which she finished. An elder who works with waypointing digitized records was asked to help her a bit--and the language he was working with was one she knew from her childhood and could read it! That was exciting for both of them.
I spent the end of my shift helping a woman who had just been called as a family history consultant. I spent about an hour with her on Family Tree.
