The score at half-time

[rolanni]

Braved the puddles and the rain-slicked ice to drive to the grocery store. Advertised gasoline price at Bob's Country Market, $3.58 for Regular -- and a bargain it is, compared to Libby's Store, selling Da Reg at $3.59.

At the grocery, the 2/$5 loaves are now 2/$6 loaves. I sense a trend. Obviously, we need to get back to making our own bread.

So anyway, back home now, the groceries stowed, and the checkbook wiped out. Steve says fish for dinner; I say, why not?

In the meantime, I'm for the couch, 30-ish pages of "Intelligent Design" and a red pen in hand. I expect the Coon Cat Editorial Team to offer their usual weighty assistance.

Oh! Today -- well, tonight -- is the First Day of the Sleep Diary. I'm thinking I'd better delegate that to Scrabble, or it won't get done.

I guess we are lucking out here. I just paid $ 3.17 for unleaded at Costco but it is more usually $3.25 in our little mountain town. Bread prices are interesting. Unless I buy a 50lb bag of flour, I can't make it to match the store prices. Bought Rudi's Gluten Free today at Costco for $2.50 a loaf. Gluten free flour from Red Mill will cost me 5 bucks a loaf. No way we can afford to make bread even if it tastes way better. Jenny from CO

How do these prices compare?

There are other bulk gluten-free flour sites, but we've ordered other things from these folks, and they're nice. Another site I saw (but haven't ordered from) is http://www.ener-g.com/

That is the great thing about the recipe I shared. You use regular plain flour, a tiny bit of yeast, salt, sugar, and water. That's it.
One loaf costs about $1 in ingredients, and takes less time (in aggregate) to prepare than stopping at the grocery store to buy bread.
