I know the fun of learning a new bread machine's quirks. When we got the
new one last year, I would start with warm/hot water as I did with the
old ones.  Found out this one likes straight from the tap water as its
built in warming cycle (30 minutes of sitting there, heating) will get
it to the proper temperature.

 CS> I should so imagine!  WE may not make a blip on their radars at the

 CS> who walk over) as non-locals.

Those that need to buy stuff will help out the local markets. Also,
those that own the B&B will have to buy (and have the money to do so
from them) food to fix breakfast for their guests.  We may drive over to
the farmer's markets; I have trouble being on my feet too long for a
walk up,around,and back.
