    For the love of god make it stop

    You might look into no-knead bread recipes. If you have a dutch oven the amount of effort is almost negligible - maybe 10 minutes max of your actual time. Time does the "kneading" and you get amazing artisan loafs. Make the dough one day, cover it with plastic wrap overnight, shape and score...

    Keep the music playing... What/Who Was Your First Concert ?

    That reminded me. The first music I ever bought was a 45 with Love Potion Number Nine on the A side and Hi-Heel Sneakers on the B side, done by The Seekers.

    Keep the music playing... What/Who Was Your First Concert ?

    SUNY Binghamton got great concerts. The Marshall Tucker concert was just a few months after their first album came out. Also saw Billy Joel there a couple of months after the Piano Man album came out. Admission was just 3 or 4 dollars. Good times.
