You are the man! And you just found yourself a new occupation.

Bring it David!

You are funny, I've always loved being in the kitchen. Back in New York when I worked in the corporate world, I had little time to cook and here especially since I don't work as much anymore I have been cooking up a storm. Luv it!

Or if you're not quite as industrious as David, buy a breadmaker. I bought one a month or so ago at Makro for a little under 400 pesos. It is ATMA and I got the bigger one as I needed to bake larger loaves.

I bake fresh bread every single day and it's fantastic! So much better than what you buy in the store. And it's cheap! Water, milk, flour, a titch of butter, and 2 teaspoons of salt, sugar and yeast. It goes in the breadmaker and 3 hours later, I have perfect, warm bread. It took me a week or so to figure out how to make it perfectly but once I did, yummmy!

But what does it mean for the economy if people can't afford bread???? And what will you do next, get a chicken and a cow for eggs, milk and cheese?

And what do you think all of these apartments have balconies and patios for? This is a lesson for all of us urban dwellers to get back to nature. Just please don't have the cow moo too loud and if you have a rooster well don't have him wakin' me up!

I am very surprised to be able to say this, but the bread from one bakery in Punta Alta is almost as good as the best I ever found in Paris or San Francisco (crust, texture, and flavor weighted equally).

As for price...$1,50 per loaf.

I am getting chicks as soon as its warm enough.

My neighbors have cows.

Pigs, too.

Fortunately, I can't smell them.

Warm enough, Steve? Don't you have an electric blanket...

Yes, I do have an electric blanket...also dogs, (but they are too small to keep me warm).

And the chicks I'm getting are the kind that lay eggs...not me.

If you ever need cheese or butter just come on down.

I'll never churn you away.
