Well, dear you? Are you alive? Has the baseball season so sent you to sleep that you have once again vanished off our periscopes? Did you vanish under a mountain of yeast as it grew and expanded and exploded out your windows to take over your town?

Heh, heh ... I see where you're going with that tr...

Heh, heh ... I see where you're going with that train of thought, Mage. You little ol' braided loaf fetishist, you. (grin)

Ah Dee, you are going to have to bake a lot of bread....and perhaps by hand.....then give it away. Let's see, double sized, braided loaves will use up a lot of yeast. :)

Bonnie, it's all in the signage. I've seen 'em do U-turns on Highway 101 when they see Crime Scene in big bold black on yellow. They simply *have* to come in and see if there's any blood splattered about.

Wilma, I did try the coffee the first year -- freshly ground beans -- wonderful stuff. My coffee customers were enthusiastic but too few to manage a fast enough turnover of the fresh roasted beans. Can't be serving stale stuff, you know. But, yes, both coffee and bread are hugely enticing aromas.

Ah gee, you people. Now I'm all hungry. Excuse me while I prowl the kitchen!

Do you have a coffee bar in your bookstore? I bet the smell of baking bread would really draw people in. Gee, I can almost smell it from here.

I was just going to suggest you have a bread bake sale. Any tourists journeying down the road might be mighty happy. If they slowed down long enough that is. :-)

Good mornin', John! I should have mentioned that price would be a bit higher than the norm in the larger grocery stores. Although many of Lee's prices are competitive, there are instances where his lesser buying power dictates the higher tariffs. Still, the 3-pack strip is always going to cost significantly more than any bulk purchase, no matter where you get it.

Need any yeast? (wiggling eyebrows expressively and grinning)

Now I'm going to have to check out the price of yeast here, Dee, just to compare. I doubt it's a dollar (£0.50) a pack but we'll see... :-)
