=Actually, the thing I had to give up doing by hand is whipping cream. My wrists will be screaming after 20 seconds.

I whipped some cream by hand for my Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving and I had to keep switching hands. :cry:

My problem is not my wrists but my shoulder and elbow. If I make mayo or whipped cream by hand it's torture. But I do it anyway sometimes just to make sure I still can.

As Toby Keith says, "I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once, as I ever was."

That's about the only subject on which I agree with Mr. Keith.

So I made a loaf of this last weekend.
It tasted good.
I didn't get any oven spring. I was using a silicon loaf pan, and there may have been more spread than bounce, but I was disappointed in the height of the loaf.
I used Trader Joe's White Whole Wheat flour, and the flavor was nice, the color a medium tan.
Next time I'm going to knead for a while longer than the recipe states. The work and rest method helped get the glutens relaxed, but I don't feel they had developed enough to give a great loaf. The texture was nice and dense for toasting, but a bit crumbly.
The family liked it too.
For a bread made without a stand mixer this was ok. A bit more gluten work and I think it will be really nice.
