Sir Beads and I just LOVE bread!

If you’ve seen the movie, Forrest Gump, you may remember how Forrest’s friend Bubba recited a huge list of shrimp dishes:

“… shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad…”

I could do the same with bread. 😉

There’s Irish bread, Italian bread, French Bread, oatmeal bread, 12-grain bread, rye bread, brown bread, pumpernickel bread, sourdough bread . . . and so many more!

Recently, we bought some of our favorite bread.

There’s a church in our area that has a fundraiser twice a year. During that time, they take orders for an incredibly delicious home baked treat called “Portuguese Sweet Bread”. The church is swamped with requests, and then a few weeks later; it’s delivery day!

Sir Beads is able to order several loaves from church members who happen to work with him at his company. It seems most people buy in quantity. We all know it will be months before it’s available again and it freezes well. I usually cut the loaves in half before placing them in ziplock freezer bags.

But oh my goodness, we are in heaven when we cut that first slice . . .

Do you like bread, too? What kind? 🙂
