Welcome to another Friday! So we all know what big holidays come this month, but did you know about the little ones we can celebrate every day? Here are the ones in the coming week.
As you can see by Itzl's concerned look, this group is for us to check in at to let people know we are alive, doing OK, and not affected by such things as heat, blizzards, floods, wild fires, hurricanes, tornadoes, power outages, earthquakes, or other such things that could keep us off DKos. It's also so we can find other Kossacks nearby for in-person checks when other methods of communication fail - a buddy system. Members come here to check in. If you're not here, or anywhere else on DKos, and there are adverse conditions in your area, we and your buddy are going to check up on you. If you are going to be away from your computer for a day or a week, let us know here. We care!
IAN is a great group to join, and a good place to learn to write diaries. Drop one of us a PM to be added to the Itzl Alert Network anytime! We all share the publishing duties, and we welcome everyone who reads IAN to write diaries for the group! Every member is an editor, so anyone can take a turn when they have something to say, photos and music to share, a cause to promote or news!
OK, we do have a diary schedule. But, when you are ready to write that diary, either post in thread or send FloridaSNMOM a Kosmail with the date. If you need someone to fill in, ditto. FloridaSNMOM is here on and off through the day usually from around 9:30 or 10 am eastern to around 11 pm eastern.

Here's a recipe from our folder:
Amish White Bread
2 cups warm water
2/3 cup sugar
1.5 oz dry yeast
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
6 cups bread flour
1. In a large bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Allow to proof until foamy.
2. Mix salt and oil into yeast water. Mix flour in one cup at a time, then knead until smooth. Place in a well oiled bowl, coating dough with oil. Cover and let rise in warm place about 1 hour.
3. Punch down dough, knead about 5 minutes then divide in half. Shape into loaves and put in pans and let rise 30 minutes in warm place. (dough should rise about 1 inch above pans)
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
