Absolutely. It would be nice if municipalities did more to reuse gray water.

In my corner of Idaho we have just that (for watering the garden anyway). We have a separate supply of non-potable irrigation water hooked up to the sprinkler system, which we get for a fairly small fixed cost per year. So you can use as much as you want (within reason) at no extra charge.
I think the main reason we have this is that we live in an agricultural area in a high desert climate (hot and dry in the summer). There is a large system of canals to supply water to the fields and some residential areas make use of this system. Definitely better than throwing expensive municipal water on your garden!

Because it didn't work, when scaled.
Unpurified water tends to clog the pipes and faucets.
It works fine on farms, but you don't want to bury the pipes.

Back in my bread maker days I learned to watch the following:
* Always buy fresh ingredients, especially yeast and eggs
* Measure the temperature of the water, don't just guess; too cold and the dough won't rise, too hot and you kill the yeast
* If you take ingredients straight from the refrigerator and use them, that will lower the temperature of the water; sometimes it's better to leave them sit on the counter for an hour or more to reach room temperature
* The pre-mixed ingredients will only work a majority of the time; if your bread maker is a little out of tolerance, they might never work
* As you've described, when you're starting out use a simple recipe and tweak one thing at a time until it's to your liking; then start adding elderberries, sage, and curry powder if that's what you like

The amount of water/liquid is critical- too much and the loaf falls in the center, too little and you've got a brick. I look at the loaf while it's in the initial mixing phase and add more flour or liquid as necessary.
The older machines that produce a round loaf seem to mix better- sometimes you get unmixed flour in the corners of the rectangular pans.

CodeProject made quite an impact on my (professional) life, but this is getting ridiculous.
Tonight I dreamt that my bedroom (or rather, a bedroom that was apparently mine) was turned into a CP museum.
All I remember from it is that it had some kind of Canadian award on display.
At first I was honored, but then I realized I probably wouldn't have much privacy sleeping in a museum.
Also, there was this guy who was supposed to do my laundry, but didn't.
@chris-maunder Stop the Inception crap and go make your museum somewhere else.
Also, ask @Kent-Sharkey to do my laundry to make up for emotional damages
Should I start worrying...?

He wasn't, but I can't remember who it was (not someone I know in any case) and my laundry really needs to get done

So not Sean?

Nope, it was some Garret or something like that
If I knew who it was there'd be hell to pay for not doing my laundry!

Oh, I don't think so. Bob seems like a nice enough sort.

With caramel sounds nice though, although I don't drink beer

Kent has asked for his CodeProject pyjamas back, please. He left them in the hamper.
