Making out of office messages useful

If you email me in the next couple of weeks you will get this reply:
Hi there.
You have caught me in a really busy travel time. It might take me a
while to get back to you, but I’ll do my best to do so within a couple
of days. Please forgive me if it takes longer!In the meantime, here’s my homemade no-knead bread recipe if you want
to give it a try.5 cups of white flour
1 cup of whole wheat flour
1 Tbs of instant yeast
2 Tbs salt
3 cups of water.Mix everything together in a large bowl until all the dry flour has
been incorporated.Let it rest for an hour, loosely covered, until it has doubled in size.
Take out a half to a third of the dough and shape it into a ball, and
place it onto a baking stone or a baking sheet and into an 450 degree F oven.Bake for 45 minutes or until the centre is at least 180 degrees F.
Put the rest of the dough in a sealed container in the fridge and
repeat when you run out of bread.Chris
I’m getting tired of algorithms and machines doing all the relational work. This is a way for me to share something beyond my travel logistics with you.

Love this, Chris! You’re giving me ideas. I generally write humorous OOO messages. They aren’t necessarily useful, but I’ve been told they make people smile, which I suppose is its own kind of useful.
I needed (or kneaded) that blog post today, Chris. As I am about to head out of town and put on an out of office message. I think I will try your bread recipe instead. Thanks!
