Thursday night the ward RS was having a share your recipes and food night. I had signed up and then found out we were leaving for Scofield Thursday right after work. I couldn't very well go back on what I had committed to and the recipes that I had submitted were Swiss Bread, Lasagna and garlic spread. So, I got home at 5:15 and started making the bread. I was getting ready to add the flour to the liquid when my doorbell rang and it was my visiting teachers. I was already stressed but with a smile on my face patiently listened to the lesson and visited with them for about 45 minutes. I could feel the stress building inside me! When they left, I went back to the bread, got it all mixed and kneaded and in the bowl to rise. While the bread was rising, I started making the lasagna sauce. The sauce has to simmer for an hour so as I finished the sauce and turned it down to simmer, I punched the dough down and shaped the dough into braided loaves and put them in the pans to rise. While they were rising and the sauce was still simmering, I made the garlic spread for the french bread. I then put the bread in the oven to bake. While the bread was baking I cooked the noodles and layered all the ingredients into the two 8x10 dishes. Just as I put the lasagna into the fridge, the buzzer rang for the bread. I pulled the bread out of the oven, buttered the tops and put them on a cloth to cool. I gathered the lasagna, the garlic spread, the French bread and two loaves of Swiss bread and headed over to the RS President house to deliver everything for Thursday night. I also gave Sally (RS President) a loaf of warm bread for a late evening snack. I got home about 9:30 and cleaned up my poor disaster of a kitchen and at 10:00 headed up to bed. What an evening! But I did it and was proud of my accomplishments. Never tell a woman that she can't multi-task when put to the test. I am living proof.
