Hey all,
I've been a member/lurker at BeeMaster for years. It's great. And Anne always has good info there, here, and a few other places. Listen to her. She knows what she's doing.

I got a couple hand crank to charge lantern/radio thingies in the camping section of Target for like $10 each. They're a couple years old and doing fine.
Well, it's different every time. I just make sure the yeast proofs well. Are you baking in a machine or by hand? The other possibility if you're hand kneading, is that you're over/under kneading a bit. Or the timer on the machine has gone a little hinky, if you're using a machine. Now that...
I was going to say something in the same vein. . . has the weather changed much lately? Believe it or not, it can radically effect baking. Humidity, temperature, drafts can make or break each batch that you make. Especially if there's a big change while your baking.
