all this talk about higher prices at the pump having an effect on food prices here in LA got me thinking (and hungry yesterday) so.... I got out my old French made bread making robot and made some home made wheat bread to go along with Cam's home made beef stew... only 3 hours and 20 minutes and all I had to do is load the stuff into the machine - how easy is that?

damn, home made bread is so good I'm making it from now on

Cam mentioned something about the electricity used to power the machine but in the end, I think we'll be saving on the bread end of our food purchases in the future - specially with the price of a store bought loaf at $4.00 (+-) and a specialty store around our parts charging $6 or $7! -

but god forbid, all those extra carbs will end up on my obliques if I'm not careful - I guess that I should try not to make my old croissants
