I'm a big bread guy.
I think a shopping bag without a long skinny loaf of French bread sticking
out of it is not a worthy thing to bring home.
Libert?, ?galit?, fraternit?!!!

Atkins or any anti bread person needs to be shot at dawn without a blind
fold as far as I go.
As is I think Atkins died from profound lack of French Bread in his diet.
Health reasons certainly. Ok a common cause of death.

There's all kinds of lines you can wait on around here to get a nice loaf of
bread.
They always offer to slice it for me.
I always decline.
They appear shocked.
Sometimes they don't hear me or ignore me and start to put the nice loaf
into the infernal slicer.
I yell.

I have a W?sthof bread slicer knife from sunny Germany.
I love slicing my own bread. One slice at a time.
I like to slice my bread fairly thick.
And unevenly.
I hate evenly sliced bread! What good is it!?!?!

Pre sliced bread gets stale in a half an hour.
When I slice it myself it lasts a day and a half.
But that's what microwaves are for.


If there's anything I hate worse than sliced bread I don't know what it
is....
A Canon EOS;
On rye.
