Just the few Holiday things I ended up baking in December has cost me $80.00 on my gas bill. I cut out the dryer altogether because that too runs on gas! So for me personally it is cheaper for me to buy it!!

I grew up with it, since my mother was very frugal, and use to make it more than buying bread at the store. I didn't know how lucky I was for growing up like that, until I grew up. Like most kids, I didn't appreciate what I had then. Now I know how to make baking powder biscuits, and my boyfriend makes the stuff you can get a package of in the store, bisquick, I think, and makes that. It is good too. My sister tries different yeast recipes, but we haven't made any like Mom use to make for us. We will check this recipes out one of these weekends, when we get brave and make home made stuff. My boyfriend, rather than going out, has been making home made dinners for the two of us. Cool, huh?! I love it. Thanks for your posts, and other people's comments, that we can all learn from.

Look for a fiddlebow knife. It might help if you use a bread-slicing guide, too. I used an electric knife until I bought a decent serrated bread knife. Look for a fiddlebow knife.
