Re: How homesick are you?
bread, get it at whole foods or a local baker, so worth it, even if it is a tad pricey...probably a bit to much if you've got kids who'll go through loads of the stuff though.

But if you're moving, by all means share. I'm gonna have to move one of these days, absolutely hate the thought. Dunno where either.

Re: How homesick are you?
That would be me. That's why I have made my own for a long time. They inhale the bread - one store bought loaf lasts five minutes in my house - so I make them healthy organic wheat with flaxseed and sunflower seeds in it - two slices lasts them a while.

Re: How homesick are you?
OK, hope recipes aren't
gauche here:
Old Fashioned White Bread
1/2 cup milk
3 Tbs sugar
2 tsp salt
3 Tbs butter
1 1/2 cups warm water (110-115°)
1 pkg active dry yeast
5 1/2 cups flour (approx.)
1 Scald milk; stir in sugar, salt and butter. Cool to lukewarm.
2 Measure warm water into large bowl. Sprinkle in yeast: stir until dissolved.
3 Add lukewarm milk mixture and 3 cups of flour; beat until smooth.
4 Add enough additional flour to make a soft dough.
5 Turn out onto lightly floured board. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
6 Form into smooth ball. Place in greased bowl, turning to grease the top; let rise in warm place, free from draft, until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
7 Punch down. Let rest for 15 minutes.
8 Divide dough in half. Shape each half into a loaf. Place each loaf in a greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch bread pan. Cover; let rise in warm place, free from draft until doubled in bulk, about an hour.
9 Bake in hot oven (400° F) about 30 minutes until crust is browned and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove from pans and cool.

Well don't think I remember how to knit - does Macreme count? And I don't care, love to cook and proud of it! They can scoff - we can EAT!
