In Austria kids learn a lot about the household and garden, so while school&#8217;s out we did that too, we made syrups, jams, jellies, preserves and breads. We also froze close to 80 pounds of fruit (yay solar electricity, free freezing)<br \/>\n3 of our friends have lychee trees and were nice enough to let us pick!

Leilani fed the sourdough starter twice a day for almost 5 days until it bubbled over twice and made a mess on the counter. We decided on a 70% rye and 30% sprouted kamut bread with pecans. Leilani&#8217;s friend Jazzi helped her weigh the ingredients and knead the dough, while I supervised, cleaned and helped when needed (rarely I&#8217;m happy to say). After about 3 hours the bread had risen sufficiently and we baked it.<br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/10\/3\/150717-h-bread1.jpg' alt=\"\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\"\/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/10\/3\/150717-h-bread2.jpg' alt=\"\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\"\/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/10\/3\/150717-h-bread3.jpg' alt=\"\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\"\/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/10\/3\/150717-h-bread4.jpg' alt=\"\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\"\/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/10\/3\/150718-h-lycee-preserve.jpg' alt=\"\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\"\/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/10\/3\/150718-h-mango-lychee.jpg' alt=\"\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\"\/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/10\/3\/150717-h-lychee-jam.jpg' alt=\"\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Techno-legos<br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/10\/3\/150718-h-lego1.jpg' alt=\"\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\"\/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/10\/3\/150718-h-lego2.jpg' alt=\"\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\"\/><br \/>\n<img src='http:\/\/simplify-your-life.com\/blog\/images2\/10\/3\/150718-h-lego3.jpg' alt=\"\" height=\"450\" width=\"600\"\/><br \/>\n~                                                                                                                                           <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prewash cycle without&#8230; &#8230;and with extra help (our dishwasher has a sanitization cycle) We have curbside recycling again!
