25. Hey Lithos-

Couple things about the baking - Do you have an electric, gas, or wood burning set-up?
You can bake on a charcoal grill or Cobb oven set-up as good as you can in a gas oven.
Believe it or not, wood or coal stoves cook better, even though the prep time to heat it is much longer; you're able to bake several items at the same time; the coals can be spread evenly or piled in certain places in the firebox to give you a slow, low bake (meranges and bread), medium (puddings, biscuits and cakes) or a higher bake (savory pies) in the same oven. Of course, the cooking and baking utensils are different, and it's easy to burn your food until you get used to the oven or stovetop.

I think it would be easier to go to your place to teach than coming out to ours. Not only because you'll be baking with your own appliances, but my kitchen has small apartment sized appliances, and it would take more than a month in my kitchen as it is.
