My housemate (Mitbewohner?) baked a loaf of bread Saturday night and that was part of breakfast, lunch and dinner yesterday! I love bread...; 17 November, 2009 00:27
PJ said...: I agree with Kobico, bread is so comforting, I've been working my way through a loaf I bought at our local food cooperative, so substantial. Great match-up, Martina.; 17 November, 2009 04:15

Martina said...: kobico, yes, Mitbewohner :-). I bake bread too, since I do it with sourdough it takes about a week's preparation and an appointment-free Sunday for kneading, letting the dough rise for some hours and finally baking. So it's only once a month, ;-).
Paula, yes, it is strange that we think of bread as comforting, isn't it? For me it is childhood memories, when every small village had its bakery and you could smell the fresh bread in the street.
AB, that's why for every family visit to England we have a loaf of rye bread in our suitcase, ;-). But as a child I really loved English white bread with peanut butter - peanut butter was unknown in Germany then.; 17 November, 2009 21:23
