Slate has a fascinating little piece comparing the wonders of homemade versus store bought bagels, cream cheese, yogurt, jam, crackers, and granola. It provides both a price comparison and a taste comparison, as well as links to recipes. She gives the thumbs down to homemade crackers, which keep getting pushed to the bottom of my "to bake" list. But now I can't get the idea of homemade bagels out of my head.
Found via Re-Nest at a post which also links to an index of recipes for pantry staples from the kitchn (Apartment Therapy's food spin off).

You should check with my spouse about her parmesan crackers...
We should totally make bagels when I visit. Smitten Kitchen has a recipe that looks good.
...
This is just fueling my desire for a small farm, sheep and/or goats, and time to bake bread, make yoghurt and cheese, practice yoga, and chase barefoot kids around.
Dang.
Tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese baked until melted . . . Bill, your wife is a genius.
Rebecca, do you mean this recipe? http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/09/bronx-worthy-bagels/
I've never made a sponge before. We must try it. And I've already got a source for high gluten flour. I'll have to look into the availability of malt powder.
Thalia, wow, you go from zero to goat farm in like no time at all. :) I love it. I am also totally confident that even with your current busy schedule you could knock out some no-knead bread this week. I think you'd especially love this olive bread recipe: http://wiemanomicon.blogspot.com/2009/03/baking-rustic-cyprus-style-herbed-olive.html
Sarah, I think I need a shirt that says that I go from zero to goat farm in under 6 seconds, or something to that effect.
I will have to give the bread recipe a whirl. I haven't been baking at all because E does not enjoy baked goods (and then the loaf of bread or whatever will just dare me to eat it all in an evening) - but perhaps I have not fully thought out the benefits of baking and bringing things in to work.
Thalia, your wish is my command:

E doesn't like baked goods? WTF? I don't know if I support this relationship anymore. Though it does mean more for you. Rebecca is well-practiced at the art of baking for the office.
AAAAA! I love it!!!
And yes, actually the subject of our first big argument/heated discussion was the fact that... E does not like baked goods, and in general... *doesn't like food*.
I was floored. FLOORED. It took a while for me to understand what he was saying. Like he was speaking a strange dialect that sounded like English, but was actually a completely different vocabulary.
