Eileen, Eileen, Eileen, PLEEEEEEASE tell me you didn’t do the “roll the white bread in a ball thing” YUCK!!

Having said all that, I’m a bread nut. I especially love it with a a nice herbed dipping sauce. I don’t eat it as much as I used to, but can make a meal out of bread, cheese & smoked oysters any day of the week.

I’m not too bad baking my own, but it’s such an undertaking that I don’t have much time for it anymore. Maybe one day.

I love bread, too, but can forgo it, unldess it is homemade. I haven’t eaten white in years, but like the wheat bread. It would be interesting to see what this lady has to say about bread.

You blog is really coming along, Eileen, with improvements every week.

Eileen, what perfect timing! I’ve been contemplating how to wean myself off sugar and bread, which I love with such a passion, I’d be almost embarrassed to count the ways, LOL! (My favorites are dark multigrains, seeded–at least they have fiber, but it’s about the pound of butter I like to slather on top!)Look forward to digging into this–and like Rosie, I promise not to eat French bread while I’m at it.

I’m laughing right now because I went to the grocery store yesterday and brought back:
A Loaf of Italian Braided Bread
Sourdough Bread
3 Cherry Pastries
2 Loafs of day old french bread (to make my home made bread pudding)
Frozen pancakes

When I unloaded the groceries I realized I had bread overkill, lol. For some reason my head was in the dough at the market! I’ll freeze most of it and use it a piece at a time!

How funny that your post this week relates to bread and it’s hazards to our waistlines.

BTW, I loved my bread machine and miss it – I never found that it added extra weight because I just replaced fresh bread for store bought. But I made really nice, multi-grain breads in mine usually.

Oh Eileen thanks for this very timely interview. I promise not to listen while munching on anything unhealthy. As baby boomers one of our goals must be to remain vibrant and victorious as long as possible.

I had a bread machine too, for a while. You are right, nothing like bread to add some padding I love heavy grainy breads. I will have to listen in to your interview!

You blog is beautiful, by the way.

Blessings!
