Amish Cinnamon Bread, Day 10
Today is the day I'm supposed to bake this bread. Of course I'm working today and don't know if I'll have time when I get home. Think it will be okay for one more day?

Amish Cinnamon Bread, Day 4
I am on day 4 of making 10 day Amish Cinnamon Bread. I just added a cup of flour, a cup of sugar, and a cup of milk to the bag which is just to sit on the counter until day 10. Did you hear me? I just put milk in a bag to leave on the counter for 6 more days. I'm having issues with this.

Cheddar Broccoli Rice Cups
(found recipe on FaceBook)
2 cups cooked rice 1 10-oz. box frozen, chopped broccoli, thawed and excess water squeezed out3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided1/4 cup Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing 2 eggs, lightly beaten1/2 teaspoon saltPepper to taste
Place cooked rice in a large bowl and let cool slightly. Add the remaining ingredients, using only 1/2 cup of the cheddar cheese, and stir until combined. Transfer mixture to eight well-greased muffin cups and top with remaining 1/4 cup cheese. Bake 25 minutes at 350 degrees or until tops are lightly browned and edges are starting to get crispy.
I tried this last night. All of the adults liked it. Stephanie would rather eat just broccoli because she loves it. Hayden and Meredith would rather eat plain broccoli even though they hate it. Phil refused to vote because he hates broccoli and this. I thought it was really good though and since I do most of the cooking, we'll probably have it again!

A Confession
...I hate e-mail.
Not as much as I hate voice mail but enough that I never EVER want to open my e-mail.
There's always so much ... CRAP ... in there.
Stuff I don't remember signing up for. Or stuff I had to give my e-mail to in order to get the ONE thing I wanted even though I've never gone to that website again. Or even stuff that I really would like to read and educate myself about if only I had an extra 14 hours in a day.
Today I am at work and it is slow so it was the perfect day to go into my e-mail and clean it out. There were over 600 e-mails in there! So I just went as fast as I could. I put everything in alphabetical order by sender, clicked on the first e-mail of each sender that I did not want to ever see again and scrolled down to "unsubscribe here." I did not read the e-mails and as soon as I unsubscribed from the first one, I deleted all the other e-mails from that sender. I also moved the old work-related and bill-payment-related e-mails to their respective "Save" folders. And I got rid of over 400 e-mails that way. YAY!
Of the not quite 200 that are left, a lot of those are from family/friends (like my MOM) and most are old or have a conversation thread several e-mails long. So next, I will go through all of those to make sure there is no pertinent information (like new cell numbers) and I will either delete or move them to their save folders. I imagine most of them will be deleted ~ not sure why I still have e-mails discussing last Thanksgiving's get-together, but, whatever, we'll be taking care of those shortly!
After that, hopefully, my e-mail will not be so crowded and I will not mind going through my new e-mails so much. I will probably have to do the unsubscribe thing again in a week or so to catch any I missed this time. Other than that, if this doesn't work, I'll be starting over fresh with a new account for friends and family only!
UPDATE:
I now have only 70 e-mails. Still too many but over half are for the kids' 4H and I will have to actually read those. And I'm done for the day so they can wait!
