I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

The Sarlacc and… Alcoholic Beverages

I made the magic bread with buckwheat flour this week.

Buckwheat bread
 Besides the dough looking like a key player in Return of the Jedi, it turned out pretty well.

 It also made pretty smashing pizza crust (because you can also use no-knead bread as pizza dough).  Like, you could barely taste the buckwheatiness. 

And, really, when I make more healthful food substitutions, it's about making me think I'm eating the awesome, artery-clogging stuff.  Right?  Anybody?  Anybody?  

Top it off with some adult beverages and we're partying like an Ewok after the Empire collapses!

If you haven't tried the no-knead bread route, the Dark Side compels you.  Then tell me, so I can add you to my list of cult members, er, converts.
