Very strange dream

I am in my mom's room at my parents' house. Only it's my room. Suddenly I hear outside, some wild singing, sort of like wild elves in the woods. I peek out the window and see a Company dressed in white (or shining brightly in the darkness). Only "across the street" is my street, not my mom's, and the creek is over there. Then I begin to see details of the company, and they're not elves, as I had supposed, but some sort of family picnic christian impromptu gathering of some sort, only they're singing like wild elves in the woods. They're making a lot of noise, and it's late, so presently the cops come (I can hear sirens in the distance). The "christians" or whatever they were, quickly pack up their picnic baskets and kids, say "let's high-tail it outa here", and vanish into their cars and drive off before the cops get there.

I speculated on what they were after I woke up. I hoped they weren't bean sidhe (their wild singing reminded me of that). They weren't elves, though I thought they were at first. Maybe they were Rosicrucians (my mom was interested in them in her youth). Nah. They were too ... prosaic. Picnic baskets, kids and all. Maybe they were baptists. A flash mob of baptists. That must be it.

But that singing... it was very eerie...

Finally found a recipe...

For Birch Bark Bread (if anyone has a better recipe, let me know).

I had heard that people once made bread out of birch bark. I want to try baking some of this bread, so I did a couple of searches. Nothing. Finally after about 3 days of searching I found a recipe. It's from Finnland, of course (where else). The bark was used to stretch flour during times of famine - the severe weather in the North necessitated such measures. I'm transcribing what I found here for easy access. From http://sydaby.eget.net/swe/jp_bark.htm
This Finnish recipe uses pine bark, but I think any non-toxic bark would do.
Use one decileter of barkmeal to 10 decileters of flour. The recipe follows:

2 liters lukewarm water
4 deciliters barkmeal
3-4 packages yeast
2 liters rye flour
2 liters wheat flour

Mix the ingredients the same as any other bread. The dough is set aside to rise for an hour, then it is punched down and allowed to rise for 40 minutes. The dough is shaped into 24 balls, placed on cookie sheets, and flattened like pancakes. According to a picture I saw, the top of each bread was poked with the tines of a fork, and a little barkmeal was sprinkled on top before baking. The bread is baked at 450 F for 10-15 minutes. The recipe makes 24 small breads.

To convert measures:
1 liter = a little more than a quart
1 deciliter = 1/10 liter

Note - 4 deciliters isn't very much. Choose a big tree with plenty of bark to spare. Don't take too much from a single tree and especially, don't take a ring of bark all the way around, or it's toast. The part of the bark that's harvested is the inner bark (in the case of birch this would be a rust color).
