Dishwasher Troubles

Can it be the little dishwashing packets?  I don't know for sure, but....

About a month or 2 ago, the dishwasher started filling...then it would empty and "post" an OE on the screen.  Of course, I googled  what it could mean.  Some various answers came up, but one I liked was the filter was clogged....we have very hard water, so I started spraying the filter that is inside the machine with vinegar, and after about 3 tries, the washer would run.  THEN, I read on a blog that the little packets may not be the best for the washer.  I ran a dishwasher cleaner and soak...but still had the problem.   I ran another cleaner and soak earlier this week.  On Thursday I bought the old powder kind of soap..last night I used it for the first time.  The washer started the 2nd time.  This morning it started the first time.  Yea!  Now, before I become to excited, I want to see if it will run right for say a week.  Then I will be excited.

One reason I also questioned the packets, was I found that the ones I use in the laundry do not dissolve very well.  I have been poking them and letting the soap out, but then I am left holding this little bit of  ? plastic that goes down the drain?  So, have they been slow to dissolve in the dishwasher and don't clear out thus causing an error read.  I don't know, but I guess time will tell.  I really do like the little packets...

No Blue Skies

After I posted yesterday morning, it started to cloud up...you know, just a little hazy.  This morning it is very cloudy and about 36 degrees, but I remembered that we need cold weather for the fruit trees to set fruit.  I don't understand it, but trees need so many days of cool/cold weather.  In Texas, you don't know when that will happen.  I am already counting my peaches before they ripen.  Last year we picked enough for about 3 small jars of jam.  This jam is made by just cooking down peaches and sugar.  Wow, is it good.  I also would like to get a dehydrator for peaches and pears, but I don't know if it is worth the effort and time.

Report on the rustic bread.  Well, it is easy to make, but the crust is very tough.  The next day, after being covered all night, it was somewhat better.  But, to put it in the oven and toast it...now that is good.  Makes very crisp toast.  It is not something I will serve to guest...not everyone likes tough bread.  And, I don't think it had much flavor.  Does bread have flavor?

Can anyone guess what this is suppose to be?..I'll give a hint...It starts with a N.  I can only say that maybe it needs a little (a lot) more practice.  The verse is good though.
