 CS> Never been much on sweets here.  Family has sugar problems though not
 CS> the pure diabetic sort. Thats why folks are laughing at me wanting
 CS> chocolate mint and ice cream <g>.  I bake a cake a year for Charlotte
 CS> at her birthday and most of it ends up feeding the birds.  I have
 CS> holloween candy left over in Charlotte's bag still <g>.

No sugar problems here.  Both Richard and I have a kinda mild sweet
tooth, but don't indulge it all that much... I used to make cakes and
such, but wouldn't bother now, as it probably wouldn't get eaten before
it went bad... same thing with most pies.  So once in a while, I'll buy
those single serving ones, and they'll probably sit in the freezer for
ages... ;)  We get ice cream, that goes a little faster...  And we
generally have some candy on hand... which lasts a while, too... That's
a good part of why I let a lot of the baking go... just not the call for
it that we used to have on it... ;)

 CS> Now cookies?  Don makes a mean batch of not too sweet sorts or one of
 CS> the rolled types you get in the cooler section which make just enough
 CS> to get eaten up here.

We have a friend we help that likes to repay us with cookies. 
Fortunately they don't go stale too fast, as we often still haven't
finished one batch before she gives us more...  and she doesn't really
give us that much, maybe a couple a dozen... but it's every month from
about October to March... (G)  We enjoy it all, but tend to eat it "mit
verstandt" as my German grampa used to admonish us... literally "with
understanding"... figuratively, "with due appreciation".  :)  Even
chocolate, which we both eat up... (G)

 CS> Funny you should mention rye!  I took a bit off just before opening
 CS> this message to make a batch.  New breadman Ultimate machine here and
 CS> am trying out various old favorites to see where to adjust them.

That should keep you busy.  :)

 CS> Oddly my favorite breadmaker recipe book grew legs and wandered about.
 CS> I'll find it someplace.  Meantime, I mixed up a batch from another
 CS> source. 

You'll find it eventually, probably in some box or other you haven't
gotten to yet... ;)

 CS> The white bread mentioned yesterday came out perfect.

Very good!   :)
