   We grow our own wheat at home.

   We take it to the mill where it is ground into brown flour to make bread.

   When we make the brown bread we get white flour which we buy and mix some brown flour with it then add sour milk or buttermilk and bread soda and mix it into a dough.

   In the country we use turf for our fires which are the hearth.

   The dough is put into the bastable.

   Red cinders of turf are put under the bastable and on the cover are red sods of turf put also.

   In about an hour the cake is baked and is taken out of the bastable.

   When it is cold it is ready for use.

   While the cake is baking red sods are put on the cover and under the bastable, out of the fire.

   The bastable is on the hearth at the side of the fire.

   Our fires never quench at home.

   Before we go to bed every night the brown turf ashes are piled over the red sods in the fire.

   The ashes keep the sods red until the next morning.
