My rye bread came today, just in time for dinner.

Compares well to the various rye bread I've had over the years. Good
taste, good texture, good crust.

The instructions tell you to refresh it by heating in a 350 deg. oven
but instead, I put a couple of slices in the toaster. That worked well.

Given the price with shipping, it is not something I'd do every week or
so, but a once a year treat, sure. It went well with a salad. Tomorrow
morning, with eggs.

The Jews are on the east coast. The southwest coast is mostly gentile
Q-tips from the Northeast, and to a lesser degree, the Midwest.

He is actually pretty close. I'm midway down on the west coast, just
south of Tampa bay. Many in this area are from New England,
Ohio,Indiana. Worcester MA airport used to have a twice a week flight to
Punta Gorda that was mostly snowbirds.

I looked at their web site. That's is a costly loaf! Never had a loaf
of bread that was more than 20$.

Lots of people from the northern US states and Canada like to winter in
the Florida. I had one and and uncle who retired early and spend a
winter in Florida and ended up moving there. Another aunt and uncle
spent their winters down there for close to 30 years. One of my cousins
and her husband and my wife's cousin, all from BC, go to Scottsdale
Arizona. A friend of my wife's goes to Palm Springs and at least a dozen
friends of mine winter in Florida.

I have only gone on one vacation to the south. It's hard to believe that
was already 6 years ago. It was was strange to leave here early on a
cold winter morning and to stop for the night in southern Virginia where
is was spring weather, and to be in Georgia the next afternoon and
summer like weather.

It's cheaper if you pick it up in person. I buy a loaf a couple times
a week. I think it's $7.29 per loaf.

Yes, the shipping was more than the loaf.

That's a lot but it probably last much longer than a foamy supermarket
bread for a couple of dollars. Not to mention the flavour difference.

we got a Pepperidge Farm Pumpernickle the other day for
$4.fiddy i'm pretty sure it's edible and good as we've
had it before. the loaves i'd made in the bread machine
were better - saurkraut is magic.

If bread you make in the bread machine is better than bread you buy
from a real baker, your real baker is a fraud or your taste buds are
failing.

Pepperidge Farm isn't a real baker. It's another mass-market brand
of bread. Slightly better than average, but still...

"ENRICHED WHEAT FLOUR (FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE
MONONITRATE, RIBOFLAVIN, FOLIC ACID), WATER, RYE MEAL, WHEAT GLUTEN,
YEAST, CONTAINS 2% OR LESS OF: RYE FLOUR, SOYBEAN OIL, SALT, COCOA
PROCESSED WITH ALKALI FOR COLOR, GROUND CARAWAY, CALCIUM PROPIONATE AND
SORBIC ACID TO EXTEND FRESHNESS, CARAMEL COLOR, MONOGLYCERIDES, ONION
POWDER, LACTIC ACID, MALTED BARLEY FLOUR, DEXTROSE, SOY LECITHIN."

it's a mass produced bread. Mom won't bake any bread
other than her simple cracked wheat bread. dessert
breads she does make but nothing used for sandwiches for
her - i'll put peanut butter on some of them as a full
meal.

today and tomorrow is egg salad, not sure if we
have olives...
