Spiced Pear, Date, Nut, Oat And Whole Wheat Bread By Glor

Remember still that you are both diseased persons, full of infirmities; and therefore expect the fruit of those infirmities in each other; and make not a strange matter of it, as if you had never known of it before. If you had married one that is lame, would you be angry at her for [limping]? Or if you had married one that had a putrid ulcer, would you fall out with her because it stinketh? Did you not know beforehand, that you married a person of such weakness, as would yield you some manner of daily trial and offense? If you could not bear this, you should not have married her; if you resolved that you could bear it then, you are obliged to bear it now. Resolve therefore to bear with one another; as remembering that you took one another as sinful, frail, imperfect, persons, not as angels, or as blameless and perfect .

2	oz	Bag chopped walnuts

INSTRUCTIONS

My dates were whole with the pit in them, so i chopped them in the
Cuisinart. ( And, yes, I did take out the pits first!!) What i did  was
to sprinkle them with the cinnamon and nutmeg so they woldn't all
stick together on the blade. I figured they were dusted enough and I
put them on the very top of the flour. I am just not one to wait for
the beep. So in about 4:10 hours, i should know if this worked or  not.
I am aiming for a 2 lb loaf since my machine can handle that  size.
This was predicated on the need to either use the pears or  watch 'em
rot before I got them all eaten. hence making a virtue of a  necessity.
