Currently on "Nutri-Systems" diet to lose weight (have shed 12 of the targeted 35+ #s so far). Which means _no bread_ (to speak of)
Back in the day, I consumed homemade bread, good, healthy, _cheap_ stuff (if you buy main ingredients in bulk at the co-op).
Looks to me like my treasured bread bowls are going to come out of retirement in the foreseeable future, whatever my "weight".
There is something "Zen" about working dough by hand, watchin it rise and smelling product in the oven. ... gonna need a sourdough starter too - and the little crock pot home for it to live in too!
"primitive life" can be "hard", yes I have a clue. But it can also be good, very good, this I know from the past, hope to share this fact with the young'uns who have never used a rotary dial phone and would find a "standard clutch" to be a theft prevention device.
