When I moved to Elko over 5 years ago, I had a built-in network thanks to my church associations. One of those wonderful associations was my dear friend Amy Lords. Amy had lived in Elko long enough to know where the good stuff was and she had a small family (four little boys) so she was a thrifty shopper.
At this time, there was a great bread debate in my house. Where is the best and cheapest bread? It had to freeze well because I would buy several loaves when it was on sale and freeze them. You can stick any bread in the freezer, but whether or not it thaws out just right (not soggy or hard as a rock) is a determining factor in buying bread. So I was experimenting with various varieties of bread and Amy saved my life one day. She had done the same thing at some point and had determined what the best loaf for the best price was. She did my homework for me and saved me such a hassle.
And now I have moved from Elko and find myself yet again in the midst of another great bread debate. Today, as I purchased three more different loaves of bread, I thought, "If only I had an Amy...."

TRULEE! You made me cry! I need a Trulee a lot, too! Someone who gets REALLY excited when something good happens, someone to just walk around the track with, someone to laugh with and talk with! I miss you!
By the way, I have moved from buying bread to making all my own! I have gotten cheaper with bread.....can't spend $30 a month on bread when I can make it for pennies! Found the PERFECT recipe! Anyhow....miss you!
