Just a quick question:

 Will the recent increase in prices for food and fuel make you want to bake even more? 

 My kids haven't successfully made the leap to dad's bread from the store stuff, and more than a few kids at school are jealous of the larger than average sandwiches they get. And even if not all of it is homemmade, it is closer for me to ride my bike to the local bakery than to the supermarket. It's not a huge thing, but I'm sure not having to run and drive 4 miles for bread would add up over the summer.

I am a very new baker, low on experience (or quality baking tools), and perhaps too ambitious for my own good. As I wander the boards, I am faced with such a tremendous amount of information that I am not sure how to proceed.
