That's just in Patrick, there is just substitute for freshly baked bread. Myself I would leave whatever portion I'd eat for a day or 2, then freeze the rest the same day as baking. Don't wait until it starts going stale to freeze it. All frozen/canned food processors do their work with freshly cooked goods. I grew up a few blocks from a Libby's canning factory, with it's distinctive Corn Cob water tower. Every summer come harvest season local truck after truck would bring the beets, peas, sweet corn and carrots and such at peak ripe season. We'd walk down and get a dozen ears o' corn for literally pennies and wow was it great ! Since the cannery was so close, in the summer at night the "mischievous brothers" and I would go there and they'd start throwing these whoppin' huge carrots at each other....not to mention all the tomatoes in the shadows of the night while roaming about the back yards. Come to think of they were always propelling something, be it rocks, pine cones, apples and whatever they could get their hands on.... prolly because one of their parents was so coldly strict this was their only form of release from the constricting wrath of dictatorship from within the walls of their prison/home. Here's to you John, Matt and Christopher !!!!
Back to baking and freezing though... my Mom growing was always making food to put in our deep chest freezer. She used to make these raisin filled pastry type cookies that were to die for. I've still never seen or heard of anything like them. She'd even do bone broths and soups for winter time. Oh she also made jams and jellies with fresh local fruits like Crabapples, Plums, Berries and Apples from a local orchard. I had most wonderful peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunches ! Isn't this the adventure of Life .... you just never know where It's going/happening. One minute you're baking bread and wondering how to store it .... the next you're in the midst of summer in a corn field... and for a one little moment you wonder "how did I get *here* ?" ..... and in the next breath ... "does it really matter ?" ..... heeheehee ... nope .... not one bit. You know .... I hear lots about "going on adventures ... go here, go there .... go go go ...... but with a keen eye ..... it's becomes obvious the "adventure" ... is "you" .... like a seed that sprouts all by Itself and on the instant ... "the World" appears in IT-Self-Celebratory-Magnificence. Yes ..... this is IT, and IT is this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
