I can’t believe how quickly the months go by..It seems like I live from Daring Bakers Reveal to Daring Bakers Reveal with no time in between. It sort of feels like the movie, Groundhog Day.

The day I discovered homemade saltine crackers I was hooked on them…No more Zesta or Nabisco for me!
Crackers have a long and fascinating history…If you will recall the Israelites had matzah as they set out for their journey from Egypt…they had been instructed by God to make bread without leavening…In 1801 Josioah Bent of Massachusetts apparently got busy and distracted and over baked biscuits, turning them into crispy breads which he named crackers due to the crackling sound that they made.
