The hot weather is causing the wheat to ripen fast.
Yes I had to learn what a "bin" was when I moved here, I called everything a silo. People would tell me "over by the elevator" and I would ride around looking for a tall building
We have tracks but they are not used anymore. A few more miles down the road and the ones that parallel the hi-line are there. Not much harvest yet here but plenty of hay being rolled and baled and hauled.
Here is a bin/elevator.

Bunch of different types of elevators (and a few silos) from various eras:

In some areas you can buy underground missile silos and folks will convert them into homes.
I would hate to have to pay the heating bill for a converted elevator home but the views would be nice.
I know the way my knees have been lately I would need an elevator in my elevator. !

You know I thought the same thing about the heat bill. You would really have to live on the ground floor for about nine months of the year.
Most likely someone with more money than brains...

Last night I created a new entry for my kookbook, Why No One Eats At My House:

Quick Onion Matzah-Brei

3 eggs
half an onion, chopped
optional ingredients: peppers, ham, bacon, and/or cheese
Half a package of crackers, coarsely crushed
(matzohs are best but any soda cracker will work)
Mix ingredients, spread in 5x8 glass baking pan greased with mayonnaise or bacon grease, microwave on High for about 3 minutes. Serve hot with plenty of butter and lemon pepper.

It was actually very good... if you like matzah-brei, it's a nice variant. If you don't, you'll wonder why someone is eating soggy fried crackers.

would stale bread work as well?
My pop loved saltines, buttermilk and what ever was leftover from supper, peas, cornbread...
I still say saltines although most look at me in question!
No room for supper,
Hubs will have to do with the meatloaf from lunch. He is benefiting from me being home this week.

BTW the local store here carries matzah! That was a suprise for such a small town with under 1,000

Oh yes, stale bread or toast works too, or melba toast. I haven't done that in years but mainly because I never have stale bread anymore -- I keep it in the freezer and thaw it in the microwave as needed -- so I always have FRESH bread! Stale bread or crackers in hot milk is mighty good, especially with a good dollop of butter on top. I like the Premium crackers with unsalted tops, they've got more barley flour in 'em and hold together better.

Sometimes I make "milk soup" -- milk thickened with a flour/butter roux, seasoned with salt and pepper, and sometimes with cheese melted into it. Really good for dipping toast. Makes a nice late-night winter snack.

Another good snack: soda crackers with cream cheese and lime pepper. Yummy!

Come to think of it, I haven't seen melba toast in the grocery in years.
