She can make her own bread (we have her sourdough culture in the fridge). But wheat will take up a lot of space in the yard that the kids could use for playing (we already have area staked off for her vegetables, plus a couple fruit trees). Plus, the dog would probably trample it. Plus, neither of us are good gardeners and we kill 80% of what we plant. Plus, buying a mill would cost a couple hundred bucks if we can actually manage to harvest the wheat. And, in the end, I suspect we'd end up with flour that is inferior in quality and much more expensive than what we could buy in the store at a moment's notice.

Besides that, this is just the tip of the iceberg. She also wants to slaughter her own chickens, grow her own grapes for wine (we've made wine from other fruits and we've started growing grapes but have not yet tried to make wine from the grapes in the yard -- and Houston is a terrible wine-growing region), make her own cheese, make her own country ham (won't that be nice to open my shed to get the lawn-mower and have a 10 lb hunk of pork hanging from the rafter in a net?), cure her own beef. Where will the madness end?

Makes sense (and I totally agree on the grapes from around here), but if you have space for a coop, I think you should let her have chickens. Fresh chicken has so much more taste than what you buy in the grocery store, and you get the added benefit of fresh eggs. The only thing keeping me from having chickens is the lack of a privacy fence and my expectation of my neighbors' response.

My wife makes yogurt too. But, she's a cook and wants to make everything herself. She'd grow the wheat and mill it to make bread if I let her.

Can she be my friend? How is she at Italian?
