I spent about 5 years in the Hexagonal Wonderland of Cheese and kept that stuff out of the fridge (too small of an appliance, too long to wait for it to come to room temp anyway) but had to be skillful about counter storage since my dog is skillful about counter hunting. The bread I bought everyday and consumed most of on the walk home from the bakery, so that wasn't really an issue.<br /><br />I never understood those Cold Bread people, but now since I buy loaves of that Alvarado sliced bread (it's the greatest thing!) I keep it in the FREEZER since I use a slice or three per week and only for toast so it goes in the toaster oven. I'm pretty sure that makes me with the terrorists, but it's what works. <br /><br />When we want proper dinner table bread, we stop by Canyon Market, which has the best baguette this side of the Pond. Just down the street from Destination Baking Co. which has the best croissant I've had since Frogland... Oh, Glen Park is a wonderland of refined flour... I'm realizing now that the "we" I'm referring to is my dog (the same one) and now I'm officially that person. Must stop typing now and restore sanity.Tamagosanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01583066213197379712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-38879666308747313592012-02-05T09:22:54.670-08:002012-02-05T09:22:54.670-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.skaterdavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870503020598334594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6301407940699570948.post-9844219104727045202012-02-03T14:13:04.492-08:002012-02-03T14:13:04.492-08:00You know, in most restaurants the ketchup is alway...You know, in most restaurants the ketchup is always warm, and I've never given that a second thought until now.
