>I just took a couple of loaves of bread out of the oven. As soon as it cools a bit, I might be having hot bread with too much budder n' raspberry jam on it.
I have achieved ius primae loavis - I get the butt of the first loaf :). My wife bakes four loaves at a time, about 3lb each, and they have proper crunchy crust on the outside, are "soft as soul" (as they say in our neck of the woods) inside, and just the smell would be reason enough to charge admission. And when you cut a slice, and hold it horizontally, it isn't limp. Everything that the industrial bread here isn't. It's a ceremony, when she takes the fresh loaves out.
