No wonder it's popular in every culture.<br /><br />The daily visit from the baker is a wonderful treat. And for those folks who are home bound for whatever reason, it's a real service.

We all stick a fork in our bread and sop up the juices in the serving dish before taking it to the sink. Sometimes, it's the best part. Thanks again for your feedback. It is very appreciated. :-)Kelly Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424296190091205312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-27624053648171907562013-06-12T14:07:17.409-04:002013-06-12T14:07:17.409-04:00Nor will mine, Justine.

The butter would get brown and after the steak was pulled out, all the grandchildren would rush the stove with our slice of rye bread to take a swipe around the pan. By the time we finished, that pan was spic n' span :).Fawn Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109344465075174580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-13491549773570100542013-06-11T12:31:27.043-04:002013-06-11T12:31:27.043-04:00Was working my way backwards a bit and had to comm...Was working my way backwards a bit and had to comment on this, because YES! my father was exactly this way. Bread with EVERYTHING. It was the ultimate condiment AND utensil. My husband, though, is also this way, and he grew up in rural Vermont, where it was a meal because there wasn't much of anything else. Different reason, same outcome. And it means my house will likely never be gluten-free.Justine Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190295175501659469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-67311097702973143232013-06-10T05:04:42.357-04:002013-06-10T05:04:42.357-04:00Hi Joan, thank you for stopping by.

My husband is right, in that bread is one of those universal items that transcend language and culture barriers. Breaking bread is so fundamental and integral to our interdependence and sense of community. I think I have too much American carb-phobia to truly enjoy it. And as someone who has always struggled with weight, I have the calorie monster taunting me at every turn. I am trying to be of the mindset where moderation is my mantra. I'll get there, and in the meantime, enjoy the bread along the way. See...I think mine is long too. ;-) Thanks again for visiting...your visits and comments are always so appreciated. :-)Kelly Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04424296190091205312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8678450334416953397.post-66356983044526309322013-06-08T08:34:36.268-04:002013-06-08T08:34:36.268-04:00I enjoyed reading your article!

I remember on my vacation in Paris getting hot bread each morning and how happy it made me. I recall as a young teen a friend inviting me to dinner and she was from India. She gave me bread and a stew like meal and no utensils. She demonstrated ripping the bread and using it to scoop the food up and eating it. It was new to me, but oh the fun! So glad you hubby can have his fresh bread daily! I just bought a cookbook called Artisian Bread in an hr, and the bread is fab.
