I know; I used what I've got left this morning to get the knots out of
someone else. Helping someone else is a lot more fun than having someone do
it to you, at least in my opinion.   Now if only the bug I've got running
around in my system would go away and leave me alone.  Fat chance of that
at the moment.

-> Well, now they're saying low 70s.  Beats what we've been having but

We got the hurricane, or the fringes of it at least.  It came down in
buckets on Saturday morning.

That stinks, although Mambosprouts does issue quite a few for organic
products.

Nope - cooks.com IIRC, although I have the original book around too
somewhere.  It was just a surprise to see Stephen's name out there.
 

->  RH> He'd like to; he wants bread.  Real bread, and baking his own may

Good idea.  I don't know the bakery, but then that's a bit of a hike for me
to get a loaf of pumpernickel.  We used to get Grossinger's rye here, but
it seems to have vanished.  That was a Catskill hotel back in the day,
total Borscht Belt place.

That's what I thought.

The nearest college dorm?

-> Some of the home made ones were quite so.

Tell someone to take an idea and run, get out of the way, and watch what
happens?
