Maybe! Some stuff about me not being James Beard perfect in how I
posted crept in as well?

I have a mixed flour batch just now, with 1 part Spelt, 1 part all
purpose, and 2 parts high gluten white.

I miss talking about bread making with other bread makers but it hasn't
stopped me.

I do other stuff too.

Charlie has very limited income. Making his own bread with a simple
bread machine is happening. Charlie has had no electricity since May
2010, other than a leech line for 3-4 lamps from a generous neighbor.
Heat fully working from the wood stove.

The electric actually doesn't come in until about New Years but he has
a bread machine due in and all the stuff he needs for 6 months of bread
making plus his first refridgerator in 10 years (small grumble,
blocking my kitchen just now).

We are restocking his wood. It's all coming together over the next
month or so.
