November 12, 2003 (Elje ÏJûrtlanb (fibsm w r Page A3 Homemade Bread Nourishes Body and Soul Pilgrim Loaf a delicious surprise Good, homemade bread is part and parcel to the way we give thanks for our many blessings. Hot, nourishing homemade bread is as much an emblem of the celebration of our bounty as the dinner table, overflowing with fruits and vegetables. The Pilgrim Loaf is a delicious surprise. From its dark color and varied texture, some will assume it s a whole wheat recipe, but it solely uses all-purpose flour. Its dark color comes from molasses and brown rice. The Pilgrim L o af s robust, strong crust, with its cornmeal crunch, belies a surprisingly fluffy interior. The fluff comes from cooked brown rice grains which blend transparently with fabric of bread. It s quite a trick! One-halt cup of pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts lend a nutty flavor and add to the complex texture of this rising sun-shaped RECIPE Robust, Strong Crust with its Cornmeal Crunch Belies A Surprisingly Fluffy, Nutty' Interior! Ingredients (M a k e s One L o a f) 3 to 3-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cornmeal 1 envelope Fleischmann’s RapidRise Yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup water 1/4 cup butter or margarine 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons molasses 1-1/2 cups cooked wild rice or brown rice, cooled* 1/2 cup chopped pecans, walnuts or hazelnuts, toasted 2 tablespoons cornmeal Nutrition Information Per Serving Serving Size: one slice Serving Weight: 3.4 ounces Calories: 260 Total Fat: 8 g Saturated Fat: 2.5 g Cholesterol: lOmg Sodium: 240mg Carbohydrates: 42 g Dietary Fiber: 2g Sugars: 6 g Protein: 6 g Directions In a large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup cornmeal, undissolved yeast, and salt. Heat water, butter, honey, and molasses until very warm (120°F to 130°F). Gradually add to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Stir in rice, nuts and enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Roll dough to 9-inch circle. Fold in half, slightly off center, so top layer is set back 1 inch from bottom edge. With sharp knife, make 4 equally spaced cuts from curved edge toward folded edge, about 21 3 of the way across loaf (cutting through both layers). Place on greased baking sheet that has been sprinkled with 1 tablespoon cornmeal. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in size, about 45 minutes. Sprinkle top of loaf with remaining cornmeal. Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes or until done. Remove from sheet; cool on wire rack. * 1-1/2. cups cooked rice equals about 1/3 cup uncooked wild rice or 1/2 cup uncooked brown rice. Ask Dear Deanna! The other day, I discovered that my fiance's apartment is in another man s name becauseof her bad credit. To make matters worse, she’s been driving a leased car the entire 3 years w e’ve been together and she lied about that too. I now have cold feet and don’t want to marry her because of this deception. -B ry ce; Greenville, SC Ö fb Dear Bryce: Run Spot Run. Get the hint? You got it bad— a lying woman with bad credit. Look at the big picture. Once a liar alwaysa liar, but with time, bad credit can be fixed. Go with her to credit counseling and get some advance marriage counseling too. You can do bad by yourself and don’t need to end up with the short end of the stick and have to permanently support a trifling woman.

If your son enjoys football and ballet, let him do both and help your husband see that your son is happy. While you're at it, enroll him in karate too. This way, when kids tease him about ballet, he can do a few chops and a couple of drop kicks and keep on trucking. Dear Deanna! I ’ m in my last year o f high school and one of my girlfriends is ready to quit during senior year. She’s stressing and going through drama over a boy that used her for sex. She doesn’t want to come to school because she can 't stand the sight o f seeing him with another girl. How can I convince her that he’s not worth sacrificing her educa tion? -Gladys; Natchez, MS Dear Deanna! Help me with this problem before my husband has a fit. I enrolled my 10-yearold son in ballet lessons but my husband wants him to play football too. He wants me to take my son out of dance class because he's afraid he’ll be teased and made to feel like he’s gay or something. How do I choose between ballet and football for my son? --Mother o f A Dancer; Pittsburgh, PA Dear Gladys: Slap her upside her head real hard to knock the sense back into her. Your friend is going through the vulnerable stage o f puppy love although she’s been dogged by a wolf. Help her make an appoint ment with your school guidance counselor as well as encourage her to talk to her parents. Continue to be a good friend and encourage her to hang in there because without that diploma, she’ll join the ranks of unemployment, welfare and ifshe’slucky— flipping burgers. Dear Mother: Hello out there! What does your son have to say about all of this or is he afraid o f hurting someone’s feelings by making the decision Ask Deanna is written by Deanna M.
