O.K. I,ll give you one more chance. Just get the info to Arborview Blvd.
I have 2 kids in A2, one of them could pick it up. So can I make it any
easier for you? .

Nope that's pretty easy all right.  Except nobody here seems to
have a recipe.  Will you ever forgive us?

sorry...keep forgetting....:)

1 pckg. dry-active yeast
1/3 cup tepid water in a 2-cup measure
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3 1/2 unbleached flour, if possible, bread flour
1 tbs rye or whole wheat flour
2 1/4 tsp salt
1 cup cold water, plus 1/3 cup or so aditional water

sprinkle yeast over tepid water, with sugar.  let satnd five minutes or more u
until the mixture has foamed up.
measure flours and salt into bowl.  add yeast-water to cold water, mix well.
slowely add to flour, mixing until it forms a ball. add more water or flour
to bring to the proper "bread" consistancy.
knead for awhile, let rest a few minutes, and then knead until the proper
elastiscity.  let rise 40-60 minutes im clean, dry bowl.  dough is risen
enough when about 1 1/2 times the originol size.
dump onto floured work surface, and firmly pat and push into 14-in rectangle[B.
fold one of the loing sides over toward the middle, and the other one iver to
cover it, making a three layer cushion. let rise 1-1 1/2 hours, or 2 1/2-3
times the original size.  form nto whatever shape you want, and bake at 450.

french bread: bake for 20 minutes, then another 10 minutes at 400.
round rolls: bake 15-20 minutes, then turn oven off, and leave for another
        10 minutes

Hey Confoozled, You,re all right. I really appreciate this. Unfortunetly my
schedule is wild these days, but you can be sure that I will try this out.
Will a roll go through the free-net? Have a great day.

Now that I'm back in the AA/Ypsi area, where are some of your favorite places
to get bread?  [I dunno if the above mentioned store is still around or
not...]  Am always looking for some good stuff.

Great Harvest is still around and they still have good bread. 

Another chain with good bread is Panera. There is one on Washtenaw near
the Whole Foods (which also has good bread)

Farmer Jack's seems to have gone out of business :( 

It is too bad because they used to have good bread in their bakery.

Did they go out of business in general or just in our local area?  A&P pulled
out of here a  while back and Farmer Jack took over some of their stores.
Of four supermarkets west of town when I moved here, only Kroger is left,
but Arbor Farm has now become a supermarket as has Fresh Seasons.  We lost
We lost Wrigley, A&P and Farmer Jack I think.  Kroger got bigger.

If its Kroger and not Farmer Jack then that means all groceries are imported
from out of state.  Evil.

resp:34 It looks like Farmer Jack is still in business but has closed 
all the stores around Ann Arbor/Ypsilanti. I was bummed when they 
closed the one on Washtenaw because I really liked to shop there. But 
the truth is that I had been shopping there a lot less than I had 
before ever since Trader Joe's opened.

I know there's a Farmer Jacks in Dearborn not far from where my parents live.
What is and where is Trader Joe's? I've heard it mentioned a few times but
don't know anything about it.

Trader Joe's is beside the old Lighthouse Motel at the intersection where
Washtenaw splits off to go into town and Washtenaw and continue straight as
Stadium.  They have a lot of gourmet type foods that you can't get anyplace
else, at great prices.  We don't shop there nearly often enough.

Thanks, Glenda, I'll have to check it out sometime soon.

Trader Joe's is hands down my favorite grocery store in the area for a 
lot of reasons. One of them is that they carry a lot of high end foods 
but at much lower prices than a place like Whole Foods. Mostly they are 
able to do this because almost everything is a store brand. Another 
reason I like to shop there is that the service is amazing. I seldom 
have to wait in line for more than a few minutes. The staff seem 
cheerful and happy and on the rare occasion when I havent been able to 
find something, they bend over backwards to help me. The last reason I 
like to shop there is that it isnt very big. This allows me to shop 
quickly and efficiently. I can get in and out of there in under a 1/2 
hour even when they are really busy.

We walked into Trader Joe's once and immediately out again because all of
their produce is sold in plastic and styrofoam, prepackaged, rather than bulk,
except for bananas.  We did not want the packaging or the premeasured amounts.
Plus we don't live anywhere near one.  We shop at the Kerrytown Market
(pineapples, carrots, oranges, avocadoes, and cabbages are sold about at cost)
and at Farmer's Market and my neighbor around the corner orders bulk food once
a month from the a large coop that delivers by truck for anyone who wants to
pay her a small commission (well worth it).

Trader Joe's is fabulous, but it's the absolute last place anybody should buy
produce at.  They are wonderful for a lot of things, but produce is usally
not so fresh, and not that great of a price, and pretty small selection to
boot.

Unfortunately, I have the ghetto TJ's, and they're always out of half the
stuff that I want.  It's really starting to piss me off.

Trader Joe's is the home of some of the best inexpensive wine on the planet.
