You don't have to go to the San Francisco Culinary Institute to learn how to make bread. You just need a few sticks of firewood so that after you make the bread you can let it rise in front of a fire. A fire you can sit in front of, too. Expertise is not important, time is. It's like fishing.
Fishing is better with no bookends on either side.
I checked the baking supplies. The wheat had weevils. I went to the House of Manna on California for supplies. I had no idea that it was such a nice store. It's restful, exceptionally clean and the people who work there look as if they have recently returned from a retreat in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
