LOL, Disney Steve!
I try to make something every week from scratch and I usually use the bread machine. I was discussing what I was doing with my doctor and he was impressed that I was using whole grains and oatmeal in our bread. You are so right, the taste is wonderful, the smell is relaxing, and it's far more nutritous than store bought bread.
Last year when I baked bread with the kids at school, it was amazing how many of the staff members would stop in to get a sniff and talk about someone who baked bread in their childhood. I thought it was not only food for the tummy, but food for the soul as well.
