We seldom took vacations when we worked due to hectic work schedules, two children in college and maxing out our retirement plans to retire early. I love my homemade cup of coffee that’s good to the last drop! Here’s an explanation but basically, I gather you are on inland routes rather than on the open ocean. Starbucks!

I can remember quite a few years in college and grad school when my part-time jobs juuuuust barely covered my expenses (and sometimes not even that!) The grain mill was an investment but if you compare the cost of homemade sourdough bread to store bought loaves of equivalent quality, it’s a huge savings.

If you have a chest freezer or other non-defrosting freezer, homemade bread can stay fresh for several months in its frozen state. I’m an older adult in college also, and I would love to have the option to listen to the books I have to read. In a self-defrosting freezer, though, I’d try to eat it up more quickly than that.

If you’ve ever eaten homemade cookies before, you’ve probably tasted the Toll House recipe. Do you want to help your kids with college? I’m ashamed to say it, but there was a period in my life where I stopped baking cookies. It’s not that I lost my taste for the sweet, chewy goodies. It’s not because I’m too manly to bake.
