The difference in quality between what I make myself and can buy varies from item to item. I make great bread ... but I know I also can buy great bread. I prefer mine for personal reasons more than qualitative ones.
My pasta, on the other hand, is better than what you can buy dried, though specialty stores sell fresh pasta that is close. But I am limited to two shapes. And I still use commercial pasta when I'm in a hurry.
But my buttermilk! This is a different species. There is nothing out there short of buying from a farmer that comes close. Remarkable! So easy! Why was I so late to discover this?
