Hi Will,

I agree with you completely, and was not intending to
suggest otherwise.

It really is funny when I think of the many times I (for
example) ran out of a particular ingredient:

I would think "Damn... I only have 200g of wheat berries...
But, rather than abandoning ship, I'll try this recipe with
those plus 200g of rye and see what happens."

But too often, the results were great, and I could not
remember how I got there.

All the best,
