Finnish Flat Bread

My favorite bread is Finnish Flat Bread.

1 1/2 cups flour

3/4 cups whole wheat flour

2 tablespoons sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup shortening

1 cup buttermilk

In a bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Cut in shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.  Add milk and mix, just until dough in moistened.  Knead on floured surface for 3-5 minutes.  Pat onto an ungreased 12" pizza pan.  Bake 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden.  Cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Cut into pieces.

Duck Hunt- Part 2

When I woke up it was still dark and I was at the front of the tent. I laid there for a while waiting. Then finally my dad woke up then my dad's friend woke up and we started to get our hunting clothes on. As we were finishing, we heard a boat come up. It was my dad's friend's dad in his boat.  For breakfast, we made hot chocolate and oatmeal.Then we got our guns, shells,and buckets to set on. As we sat down the ducks started flying in all directions.  We shot at them, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! We did not get one single duck! After a while no ducks were around. So we packed up all of our supplies into the boat, said good-bye to our friends, and set out back to our truck.  I had a great time duck hunting my dad!
