I make Irish soda bread using soured milk and vinegar but we do love yeast bread. I really need to try a sourdough starter but I'm not real good at maintaining that stuff. Shoes would be an issue for us also as my kids are still growing by leaps and bounds. Sometimes we can hand them down but things like their rubber boots just don't last and it's what the girls wear the most.

I got the Bigs some better shoes last year, and #1 wore his the whole year. This year I bought the same brand for all three of the bigger boys, and #2 and #3 have both already worn them out. Name brands and prices don't seem to make any difference either.<br /><br />Of course there are no real cobblers left any more either. Someone with those skills would be a great asset in this type of situation. I wonder if the Hutterites still make their own shoes? I'll have to ask the next time I'm down that way.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557512606416161272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4801806904348236141.post-51171736468322614512012-11-24T22:42:30.060-05:002012-11-24T22:42:30.060-05:00Shoes,,, that's something I have thought of al...Shoes,,, that's something I have thought of also.
