Fibre, the LumberJock Way

I just have to get another LJ Sweatshirt!!

I love my sweatshirt so much that I wear it all the time around the house – I mean all the time, from morning to night. That means that when doing woodworking I get get covered with sawdust. Not a problem really, it is to be expected. But today I realized that perhaps I should have a sweatshirt for woodworking and one for the rest of my day.

Why, you ask? Well, I’m sure I have sawdust in my bread dough. Most people reading this probably don’t see a problem in that. Anyone working with wood must eat a “peck of wood” in one form or another. But, since this bread is going to a special someone’s 80’th birthday party, perhaps sawdust in the dough isn’t the best recipe.

But, such is life. Live and learn – next time I’ll at least don an apron!

sawdust in the bread sounds like a recipe for extra yumminess to me ;)

Is the apron for the shop or the kitchen? :) Actually a little sawdust in the bread probably is not so bad. I am sure it beats Metamucil and a little cherry or walnut flavoring may even help out (but let’s leave out any white paint chips).

Have fun and enjoy.

good point: walnut – no paint ;) Gosh, if I used painted walnut in my bread then even the LumberJocks wouldn’t like it!!

You should expand your LJwear wardrobe. It is appropriate for any occasion or situation.

Seems like I saw a handsome fellow modeling the line somewhere?

hmmm i think you are right Todd.. I do think I remember seeing a handsome fellow modeling the line somewhere ;)

I have lots of t-shirts but they are too chilly for this winter weather. So I need another comfy warm sweatshirt…. maybe Santa will leave me something after he eats his “maple” cookies. haha

You could always sweeten it up with some maple syrup Debbie.

With the cost of flour rising at such a quick pace, we have found that sawdust is an economical organic substitute. Walnut works well instead of rye flour; maple is best for bleached flour; and oak or ash from the planer (sorted by gradation) are good for whole or cracked wheat replacement. If you prefer pumpernickel, you can use ebony as a substitute. We’re not fond of poplar (aspen) since it causes too stringy of a texture, except for stuffed pizza crust. If you have time to make a few extra loaves, they’ll sell like hotcakes at your local health food store. Just make sure they know it’s all natural! ;-)

You could make some little round cereal and call it Cheeri-Oaks.

Ms Debbie… I’ve got some sawdust for you to make lots of “pine nut bread” for the holidays. Just send me your address and I will box it up and send it to you.

Merry Christmas
