Thank you, DickZ, for taking the time to read this.
I agree with you completely about the endless onslaught of commercials on NBC, whose commentary, as an article on Slate wryly pointed out, measured really high on the"Sap-o-Meter." (Nevertheless, both Bob Costas and Mary Carillo were entertaining and insightful, and NBC's camera work was first-rate.) You can read more of such opinions, as well as the superior comments of our fellow LitNetters on the "General Chat" thread titled"Oh, Canada."
You mean I'm the only one who still buys Gold Medal flour? I don't bake my own bread, but I (and presumably Debi S.) use a great deal of it to make pizza dough, cookies, gravies, etc.
