Awhile ago, I read this about growing your own sprouts and knew I wanted to try it out. I ordered the special jar lid, bought some mung beans and lentils, and five days later, I had grown my own sprouts! We've now grown and eaten three or four jarfuls of sprouts, and they are very bit as interesting and delicious and I suspected.Of course they are perfect for salads and sandwiches, but Emma also loves to eat handfuls of them plain, straight from the jar. I think she likes to eat them so much because she has actually watched them sprout and grow. They are a perfect experiment for little kids because they grow so fast and are so easy to do. We're all about instant gratification.Does anyone local have a good recommendation for carpet cleaners? Our carpets desperately need to be cleaned but I'm not sure who to call. The first time we had it done I was really happy with it, but last time whoever we used did a terrible job and also ended up charging me more than I had been quoted. I can't remember which company it was either time, and now I'm wary of hiring someone crummy again.

Oh, and here is the recipe I used for the bagels. I followed the recipe exactly except I subbed whole wheat pastry flour for all the flour. Next time I will try baking them on parchment paper so I hopefully won't have as much trouble with them sticking to the pan.
