Our natural gas company just announed a 2.7% drop in natural gas rates. That is such a welcome relief - can't believe what I get excited about these days.

I admit, I buy dried breadcrumbs for my meatloaf and to make hm shake and bake. I'm determined to make my own. I have been watching our bread consumption and can't tell you how often I've seen single slices that were stale get tossed out. No more! :D Here's a handy recipe for anyone that may...
