Anyway, today I'm spending the day making bread. For some insane reason, Dollar General had yeast in the clearance aisle for 5¢ for a three-pack (and no, doesn't expire until 2014). First loaf is done, and getting ready to make second -- perhaps a cinnamon raisin loaf???
I'd have to do some concentrating to figure how much each loaf costs, but $1 a loaf is a high estimate.
I hope your house smells as good as mine does right now.

Update -- kind of funny...
My first loaf of bread always seems to be the worst one. It looks great and smells great, but the second we start slicing it, it just falls apart. Today's was no different, so I decided to google what I might be able to do to improve it before the second loaf.
Turns out that the problem is that we slice it and eat it too quickly and don't give it enough time to let it cool! HAHAHAHAHA! With my house, I'm just lucky that they let me cook that first loaf thoroughly and don't try to eat the dough raw. Once it starts to fill the house with that aroma, the vultures start circling and there is NO way they'll wait for it to cool. Oh, well. At least the later loaves we wait until they cool.
