    Ammie, I do not comment on your videos enough, but I just want to say that you and Jessica at three rivers homestead are my favorite UA-camrs. I have learned so much from you! You inspire me in many ways! And you are absolutely GLOWING since having your removal surgery!! I am so proud of you!! Remember that Jesus turns our ashes into beauty. Your testimony with having implants and then the removal glorify Jesus! Don’t hold on to guilt or shame surrounding any of that. It’s a beautiful testimony and I can’t wait to hear more!

      But the grain mill has been so extremely easy to learn, really not even that much to learn besides turning it on! I’m still learning conversions but I hung the “bread beckers grain berries to flour conversions” chest sheet and it’s made milling even simpler still!

    So I just got the same mill for Christmas and I made the same mistake as you, although you may not know it’s a mistake right now. You know when you open the bin where the flour goes into and there’s a ring around it so I kind of trapped some of the flower that ring is not supposed to be in the bowl. It’s supposed to go on top of it. There’s a little notches that it fits into so that the part where you put grain in is bigger so you can add more at a time. Hopefully that helps.
