good starting point. I have some old bread flour to use up, and then I am going to see about grinding my own grains.

Going to start grinding my own grain. I will be able to get any color that comes
out of the grinder.
I would LOVE a good pumpernikel recipe.

Here is a pumpernickel rye recipe......
It calls for rye flour...perhaps that is what you mean when you say dark flour.
My best memories of a true pumpernickel rye are from my childhood.
My grandfather came to the country with grandmama directly from Germany, and as such, sought out what they could find as comfort.
One of them for my grandpapa was pumpernickel rye, slathered in lard mixed with bacon bits and grease, heavily salted.
The pumpernickel he used to get from a bakery in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, many miles away. He would make a trip there once a month or two, stock up, and put the rest in the freezer.
It had this wonderful chewy crust....

silverbeet = chard
wheat grist = Whole Wheat flour(My guess)
malt beer = malta(unfermented beer)

wheat grist is kind of flour but very dark type 1700 here in germany.
Normal flour is type 405.
The rest of Vics translations is correct.

Simple mushroom risotto
Serves 2-3
You need:
2 tbsp oil (or butter)
2-3 shallots - finely chopped
500 g mushrooms - sliced
200 g risotto rice
250 ml simple white wine
150-200 g (single) cream
250 ml water
750 ml (chicken) stock
50 g parmesan/pecorino - grated
1 bunch flatleaf parsley -chopped
A wok, especially the non-stick type, works very well for risottos. Else a very large pan or large pot.
Add oil/butter to pan at medium heat.
Add shallots and fry until almost transparent.
Add mushrooms and fry until starting to get soft.
Add rice and fry until grains are coated with oil and slightly transparent.
Add wine and stir well then add cream and water. Stir.
Bring to the boil and let simmer.
As the liquid gets soaked up and evaporates keep adding stock in small amounts. Don't allow to boil dry.
The risotto is done, when (most of) the liquid has been soaked up. [or you run out of patience] It should be creamy but not souplike.
Add parmesan and parsley and serve.
Enjoy!

Ahoy, shipmates!
Apparently a celebration time: “Sandwich celebrates 250th anniversary of the sandwich”, http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-18010424.
As a 92.8% unrelated aside, was viewing one cocktail recipe: http://www.bbc.co.uk/cult/hitchhikers/guide/alcohol.shtml. Gather am able to find some ingredients —like an olive—but others are harder to come by. Anybody has an idea where one might get some Qualactin Hypermint extract and a small amount of Zamphuor?

I'm looking forward to Nicks smoothie recipe(s). He may just encourage me to go buy some plain yogurt, and fruits.
