This is our own Relief Society site for our ward. It is a in an effort to bring us closer together. It is another way to feel a part and be connected. This is like another newsletter. I hope you find it encouraging and supportive in our sisterhood. Enjoy!!
This is not an official web site of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or of the general Relief Society.
At Creative Patches this week Sister Young taught the sisters how to make beautiful mitered edge baby blankets. Sister Marini shared her unfinished quilt tops. We all learned alot, including how to make yards and yards of bias tape. We all thoroughly enjoyed each others company. Thank you Sister Young for your time and willingness to teach us how to make this creative blanket.
If you have an interest in sewing please join us on October 27th at 6:30pm (stay tuned for locations and details).
The next book club will be held at Alecia Darrow's, on Oct 15 at 7pm. The current book is 'Three Cups of Tea' by Greg Mortensen. It is a non fiction book about building schools in Afghanistan.
In the Kitchen with..Sister Sister Watson was held at her home and everyone who attended learned how to make braided pocket bread.

Braided Pocket Bread
Ingredients: 1 2/3 C. warm water. Ham (about 1 lb.) 1 Tbs. yeast Cheese, grated (about 1 lb.) 1 Tbs. sugar Corn meal 1 tsp. salt 1 egg 4 C. flour Sesame seeds
Put warm water in large bowl. Add sugar, salt, and yeast. Wait 5 minutes. Stir in flour gradually. Knead until smooth. Roll out to create two oblong pieces, on floured surface. Slice lunchmeat into strips so it will mix with the cheese. Pile ham and cheese in the middle of the two oblong pieces of dough. Cut the edges of the dough (like a fringe), about 2 inches into the center of the oblong piece. Dough should be rolled and cut like so, with ham and cheese piled in the centers:
We tried pizza ingredients too! Pull dough strips over the meat and cheese to create a braid and a closed pocket for the meat and cheese. Sprinkle corn meal on a cookie sheet (or grease sheet) and put braided pocket bread on it. Beat egg and brush top of bread. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Watch video for a brief visual on how to braid braided pocket bread:
Bake 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees. Slice, Serve and ENJOY!!!
