Not to worry, battle will commence again next year! <br /><br />The Squirrel Family, ...so you love fennel as well! It took a while for us to get used to it but now I put it in most things I cook, sometimes leaving it as seed, sometimes grinding it up into powder and putting it with other spices. That explosion of taste is something else, isn't it!<br /><br />Horst, will definitely have a search for buying in some barley, because my blood sugar levels can get unstable when I am over tired. <br />You have put me on a mission, Horst, and that it is to have a go at that sour dough bread! Bless you for pushing me along with that.Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833961486558166275.post-9706851538400795242014-08-21T19:46:27.169+02:002014-08-21T19:46:27.169+02:00I have just learned that Barley is really great at...I have just learned that Barley is really great at regulating ones blood sugar and it makes one feel full for longer and can help one loose weight in the long run.

You can get recipes here in the internet. I like Sourdough Barley bread and also Sourdough Rye bread. It takes 5 days to make the sourdough sponge. After that you can keep it going forever if you like. just take 1 cup flour and 1 cup water mix and let sit, the yeast in the grain will start to work and you add the same the next day and so on. The sour dough recipes in the net will work fine you just have to try some and you don't have to use as much yeast.
