It worked out nicely that the kids and I had plans to spend Martin Luther King Jr. Day with Amie and her kids, because this gave me the chance to have Amie teach me some of her Coupon Lady ways (shown here at her computer thanks to her tripod and my self-timer) AND teach me how to make bread as well.
Not too shabby eh, it's nice to have talented friends.**Do you know how to make bread?
Are you coupon savvy?
If I came over to your house,
what would you teach me to do?**

I'm terrible at making bread! Yeast and me don't do well together...
What an interesting question...if you came over to my house, what would I teach you to do?...Let's see...since you already garden, (unless you need tips on growing roses)I'm thinking maybe I could teach you how to hold a duck the proper way and how to make thai food--(NOTE:--the thai food does not involve cooking duck)
For the rest of the day, we would spend it by me picking your brain clean of all it's creativity!
I wish I was a better coupon saver...I probably should be since we are trying to cut our food bill in half. Does $450 per month on food seem too meager?
Shannon, I could definitely use some gardening lessons. I basically plant flowers, weed occasionally, then wonder why things are dying.
i'm getting better at bread. i think i may have perfected rolls. but the bread thing- i had a friend teach me and i got pretty good- then stopped and lost the skill a bit. her mom still makes the most fantastic bread.
coupons?! i am out of touch in that arena.
what would i teach you at my house? oh heavens. i can bake a mean chocolate chip cookie. or i could set you up with a primer on backpacking basics. :)
How delightful! I want to learn about Amie's coupon ways as well, not to mention get her bread recipe! I enjoy making bread but don't do it often enough. I'm struggling with this spt.
Gosh, I don't think I have anything else to teach you! Maybe you could teach me instead -- I need to learn your cleaning ways.
I had so much fun with this SPT since Lelly was actually at my house for it! How cool is that?!
Neat SPT idea. I think I could learn much from Amie as well!
Yes...it is nice to have talented friends (sisters in my case)...
Sadly, I cannot think of ONE thing I could teach you if you came to my house. I think the talent gene just skipped me altogether, although I am forever grateful to have a sister who can do it all for me! :)
It is nice to have talented friends. Hopefully you'll share what you learned.
ps i love the banner.
I love to make bread (Honey Wheat is so easy and yummy) but I don't do it nearly often enough...it's actually been on my list of things I want to start doing more of.
I can be coupon savvy (I love CouponSense) but have not made time for it lately. When I do coupon I am able to buy groceries for our family of 6 for $400-$500 a month (that includes diapers, etc).
What would I teach you? Maybe something crafty...but you're already good in that arena. I could teach you how to play the piano (do you play?) or the violin. Hmm...I'm not sure what else; you're pretty talented, you know!
I do like to make bread and I'm coupon literate but not articulate.
Hmmmmm....what would I teach you if you came to my house? I'm not sure on that one, I think I'd rather pick your brain.
i've got some pretty sweet dance moves, and i can teach you the history of middle earth. when do you want me to come over?
i don't understand the couponing game. i'm so slow with stuff like that.
Yes, I know how to make bread. I am not too coupon savvy, so I guess I could use some help there.
If you came to my house I would teach you how to make your own pizza dough. :)
I just made Michelle's Rye bread, yum!
I realized today when I am trying to think of something for my SPT that I probably do not try near enough new things.
My mom makes bread weekly and has taught us how. The great thing about knowing how to make bread (I'm still learning), is that it is the best gift to take someone who is sick or needs cheer. If you have 4 loaves at a time, you get to keep some and give some away.
I do not know how to make bread. I have not tried that hard, so maybe with some effort. I do make really good banana chocolate chip (nuts optional) bread.
I love coupons. I love saving money on food. *That means I can buy more.*
If you came to my house I could help you discover some amazing scenery and teach you how to make rag rugs. The door is wide open, come on over.
I need to move the office to the front of my "to dos" - it is our catch all and even though I hate it in real life the picture pushed me over the edge.
It was fun to hang out with you guys... I always hope you don't feel tortured.
I love to make bread and rolls of all kinds. If you came to my house we would have a Wood Family Donut Night and you could learn the art of frying and glazing.
I'm a bread-making-disaster and I never seem to find coupons for the stuff I usually buy.
Sounds like fun to hang out and get tutored at the same time!
I just bought the lehi roller bread mixes. It makes 6 loaves and I paid 6$. I feel like that is a happy medium for me. I was able to get wheat and white.
It looks like you guys had a great day.
I don't make bread... when we had a bread maker I didn't even do well with that. Always killing yeast! That's awesome that you have a friend that is willing to teach you so much- and all in one day!
I should try this coupon site. I love to use coupons when I have them, but I rarely have any.
I have nothing to offer. :)
I haven't done my SPT due to the fact that I have not tried something new. Pathetic. :-) LOVE that you are making bread. I actually enjoy doing that. You will have to share your recipe.
I will teach you everything I know....so come on down. I do clip cupons all the time, and mostly use them for salad dressings, but a lot of the stuff we don't buy, and I don't know if I should just buy it because you can get a good deal on it....quanandrum....how ever you spell it. My dad was the KING he would spend a couple of hours, but would come out with 70 percent at least savings...and several free products. Too bad they don't double the 1.00 coupons anymore.
I love to eat and make bread, we don't usually eat it, so I don't make it, I love CIABATTA from IL FORNAIO and get it all the time
I made bread this weekend too...but didn't really document it well. How fun to learn with a friend.
hmmm, not sure what i would teach you. flourless chocolate cake? a chocolate tasting?
would love to try though!!
i want to learn how to make bread so bad.
i love the photo and again am feeling horribly guilty about no spt for months!!!
I love homemade bread. Good for you for doing new things!
I love making bread. I just learned a really, really easy 5-minute bread that I wish I would have known how to make years ago.
I am trying to be coupon savvy. Between her and Jessie, how can I fail?
What would I teach you? I am a novice at so many things...vegetable gardening comes to mind. Or kickboxing- still interested? heee
From you though, I would love to learn your home management skills. To be able to follow you around all day and see exactly how you do it.
