Even when boxes must be packed, papers and more papers (3 copies of each set) must be signed, and details must be cared for, there is every day life that must happen. My girls still need my attention, my husband still needs a close hug and a listening ear, and I still need to work on being patient, on being consistent, on being motivated to keep my house clean. And then there are the little things like grinding up almonds to make a cake.
Someday in the not too distant future, I hope to have one of these http://www.excaliburdehydrator.com/9-Tray-Large-Excalibur-with-26-hour-Timer-3926T-28-37-regular-prod.htmfor deyhdrating, making yogurt, and all kinds of fun things…..anyways. Once they are dry, my little coffee grinder that I received second hand from a friend and I get to work.
Now you may be asking why I don’t just buy almond meal. I don’t buy it because the four cups that I ground up would cost more than twice as much. I can find time more easily than pennies. And really the part where I am actively working is minimal. Also then I can soak them and make it more digestible. And I don’t always take the skins off nor do I always grind it so fine. But for a cake I will do it.
I have an Excalibur… and love it… but I’m still figuring it out! I am not as motivated to try new things as I should be. I hope you get one soon so you can give me some encouragement on how to use mine!
I really would like to get one soon…it is just kind of pricey although I think in the long run it would save a great deal.
