(459 posts)The only breads I make at home are biscuits and cornbread.
I buy flatbread in the summer for sammiches, and of course tortillas year round, mostly corn.
I on occasion buy a loaf of French bread and use the ends to toss in soup or to mop up gravy. By the by, French bread made with American flour does NOT taste like French bread made in France, or any "white" breads I ate in Europe. They don't mill all the flavor out.
I used to buy birdseed for the birds but the increase in feral cats around here put an end to that. Now I feed the feral cats and hope they don't get after the birds as often.
I did buy light bread for Hubby and the kids, but after European breads I just can't stand light bread. Older son ate the heels. He also ate the ends of rye bread. Heck, he'd eat Anything. Least picky kid I ever saw! I once told him I expected he'd eat lug nuts if I put them on the table and he cheerfully agreed.
