I just got done reading my weekly e-newsletter from Vegetarian Times. They were polling people about how they get rid of garlic smell on their fingers after chopping garlic. My response to this: I consider garlic-scented fingers to be part of my signature fragrance. I'm sure my children and grandchildren ...

This week I was in the mood to make bread. Plain old hearty wheat bread. But alas, I had no yeast. And I'm trying to limit trips to the store. So, what did I do? Improvise! I made yeast-free bread from a recipe I found online.
