Whole Foods doesn't sell the stuff, so far as I know. They couldn't even get
me hard spring wheat berries.

You'd have to get over to Debra's Natural Gourmet in Concord if you want
spelt. It's about $1 a pound if you want organic, less if you don't. Or at
least it was before our corn-mandated fuel bill kicked in and sent wheat
prices into the stratosphere. It fit in the trunk of my '97 Saturn SL1 just
fine -- no SUV required. It's even easier here in Oregon. I can bike 1.5
miles, put a 50 lb sack in the trailer, and get home in less than 10
minutes. Corvallis is nice.

I haven't. I just use the otherwhen email alias, myself, and it looks fine
on my end. It's simpler than installing an entire new application to read
newsgroups, since r.f.s is the only group I read. If my posts are looking
terrible, email me to let me know what's happening. I'll fix it:

I'm sure it is. When I lived in Mass., I could hardly go a couple of miles
without tripping over a Superfund site. When I can avoid knowingly adding
poisons to my food, though, I do.

I do miss the Bay State. Hub of the universe and all that. There's nothing
like Iggy's in my new town, that's for sure.

> Bromate does not survive baking temperatures.

Probably not. But why risk it?
