Why so many posts?

So my friend and fellow teacher Kathryn and I work the afterschool program at our school. Its a pretty great gig. The kids work in the computer lab (my classroom) and we get paid to grade papers and do our lesson plans while watching the kids. Normally I do Mondays and Fridays and she does the other three days; this week however, Kathryn has had talent show tryouts everyday and I've been up here doing afterschool all week. The quarter just started on Monday and there isn't a whole lot to do in the beginning. No papers to grade, no parents to call, etc. Thus being the reason for the million blog posts a day!

I volunteered to make the bread for communion this Sunday and have been browsing recipes. Have any of you ever done this before? We have a lady at church that always makes the communion bread but at our normal service we only do communion once a month. At the new service, we do it every Sunday and that's a lot to ask her to do.

Here is the recipe I found on allrecipes.com. It looks pretty good and easy. No worrying about the yeast rising, etc. I'm planning to make it today and will let you know how it turns out!

"A quick and easy bread to make for communion services. This bread is just a little sweet and can be shaped whichever way you like."

INGREDIENTS:

DIRECTIONS:

1.	Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease two baking sheets.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt and baking soda. Stir in honey, shortening and water. Mix dough until it is smooth and well developed. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and supple, about 8 minutes.
