A friend of mine is single with a very busy and largely unpredictable

She slices a loaf, wraps a day's worth of slices in cling film and

them. She then takes out what she needs and because it's such a small
amount
it thaws rapidly. That way she never wastes any.

Sometime a loaf lasts us - two old folk - three or four days but it's
never
thrown away, it's always edible. But I do make our bread :-)

Your friend and you are obviously far better organised than my other
half and I :-)
I haven't made bread in quite some time - more's the pity, as it is
quite lovely. I particularly like making Irish brown soda bread. As
soon as my new kitchen is in, I must go back to my old good habits.


Mary,

Could I trouble you for the recipe for the Irish bread? My mother used to
make it regularly, but I've never found the right recipe in the many books
of hand written ones she left... Maybe you've got it!


I don't make soda bread, somone else mentioned it. We don't like it here.
Well, that is, none of the ones we've tried. I once (twenty years ago at
least) had a memorable meal at the Deer Park near Antrim, with sea food, the
wheaten soda bread there was excellent, never had any like it though.

Sorry,

Mary
