The One About the Bread

Couldn't think of a good title so I thought I'd follow the "Friends" example and start off with The One About.

Anyway.....
On to the post.

I thought I'd share something about what irritates the crap out of me.
In fact, I gave some serious thought to maybe making it like a weekly segment.
I do have plenty of things I could cover.

Oh, who am I kidding?
I gave it about 30 seconds before I realized that it would never happen.

I am not organized enough to set aside certain days just for a particular topic.
Whatever I write, I just came up with within 5 minutes of writing it and that is just how it be.
OK, some of it I come up with as I write.

You know what I hate?
Bread slices that get all funky.
The loaf isn't squished, but the loaves got all misshapen because when the loaf was carried or sat down the slices shifted and something abnormal seems to have taken place.

Doesn't that look sort of like George Washington's profile on the quarter?

OK, maybe not his.
It could be someone's profile though.

Exactly how does the slice end up that way?
You can't do that with homemade bread.

But, you also can't wad it up into something resembling dough.

That in itself is a bit frightening.

I Really Shouldn't Have Read That

Do you ever wish you didn't know something?

Yes, knowledge is power.

But, sometimes it gives you the EWW factor as well.

Today, I was label reading on the bag of bread.

When you read all the ingredients that you can't even pronounce it really makes you not want to eat that bread again.

Maybe, just maybe, I need to start baking all of our bread.

I don't put diglycerides or ethoxylated things in it.

Do you know what that means?

I don't know what that means.

I read somewhere that if you can't pronounce the ingredients and have no clue what they are, you really shouldn't be eating that product.

But, at the end it tells you the bread contains wheat and soy.

Duh.
Those two ingredients are clearly listed and easy to read and pronounce.

No mention of the stuff I don't understand.

That is most likely on purpose.

They don't want you to know what you are putting in your body.

They just tell you breads are good for you and that's all you really need to know.

I am somewhat curious about what these things are, but once again not sure how much I really do want to know.

After all, I have been ingesting this bread or ones similar for many years.

It's probably something that will do us all in.

Shhhh, don't eat the bread, it has funny sounding stuff in it.

Plus, have you ever smelled it?
Sometimes it has a smell to it I don't like.
Might be the vinegar.

Why put vinegar in bread?
Who knows?

But, I always love the smell of freshly baked bread.
No vinegar smell.
