Yesterday, I looked for some focaccia bread and was astonished to discover that an 8-inch square of it cost $3. Granted, it was fresh-baked and organic, but still. Ouch. So, I got out my Joy of Vegan Baking and found a decent looking recipe. I'm going to fire up the Kitchenaid mixer and turn out a pan of it. I don't know what I paid for the flour, so I can't crunch the numbers, but it's got to be cheaper. Plus I might as well burn a few hydrocarbons of my own, or at least some glycogen, kneading it. I haven't baked bread in a while. It should be interesting. Cheers, Trish **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.

We have hot spells, but most of the time I can stand to fire up the oven. Which I'm going to do this afternoon! I'll let you know how the recipe turned out.
