    A setback for self sufficiency

    Can I remind any breadmakers out there that if you wish to use your own saved sunflower seed in homemade seeded bread, that it is necessary to get the sunflower kernals out of the seed casings, otherwise for every mouthful of your otherwise delightful fresh bread you will be spitting out a couple of straw-like husks.

    Perhaps I'll just use the rest for sowing. Sunflower seeds, anyone?

    Lol! How did that happen?

    I'm sure the birdies will love it.

      Oh, that's a pain! Is there some sort of magic gadget that can sort that out? Sounds horribly laborious to do by hand!
      I was feeling part of the scenery
      I walked right out of the machinery
      My heart going boom boom boom
      "Hey" he said "Grab your things
      I've come to take you home."

        Coz I didn't think! It was only afterwards I thought - 'oh yes, you do see the squirrels dropping the husks off.....'

        And yes, I'm sure they will!

            You'd trust the squirrel with a bread knife?

              's alright - bread knife is fairly blunt!
