Dawn Chorus Day 2016
Dawn Adventure
Happy first Sunday in May! Among other things, it is International Dawn Chorus Day – a morning to celebrate the glorious music of songbirds as they greet the new day. It does require getting out of bed one hour before sunrise, so it isn’t for everyone. (Click Here to find out about how people all over the world participate in this event).

Knäckebröd
The Recipe
Hatty has been baking Swedish hard tack… I wrote the recipe down as dictated over the phone from my mother, so it is a little confused-looking. The other side of the card says:
7) divide dough in half and form two loaves; or for knäckebröd, divide in half and form each half into 8 – 10 equal balls.
8) let rise about two hours for bread; or roll into circles, and over-roll with knäckebröd rolling pin and place on baking sheets.
9)Bake 35 – 40 minutes at 350 F for bread; or at 475 for 5 minutes one side, turn and bake 3 more minutes on the other side for knäckebröd.
