- Re: 2 Questions - start LID pre thyrogen? Precautions for low dose RAI?

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the clarification :-)

Does your mother-in-law rent herself out to make bread for LID bread-

starved people? She could have a permanent job :->

Am figuring she's making the non-bread machine recipe (which looks

yummy and should satisfy your bread needs nicely!), but if she isn't,

there are more bread machine recipes in 's archive list (message

14812) and another in message 15365.

Dairy's hard to replace :-(.

Cheers,

Alisa (hoping for a clean scan for you!)
