12761. Max Macks - 12/17/2004 8:31:22 PM Good morning.
Does anyone beside me remember when there seemed
to be only two choices for bread--the bread your
mother MADE and something called ( I think) Wonder Bread.
The store bought bread you could squeeze a slice into
a round ball the size of a marble !! 12762. Ms. No - 12/17/2004 8:35:32 PM Max,
A little before my time. We grew up eating store-bought whole grain bread. My mother's a good cook but not much of a baker. 12763. judithathome - 12/17/2004 10:18:55 PM I remember Wonder bread and Mrs. Baird's bread from the store but don't recall my mother making any at home. Just as well; she was an indifferent and reluctant cook and her pie crusts were the precursors to Frisbees. 12764. Ms. No - 12/17/2004 10:21:35 PM Ah, the truth unfolds! Judith married Keoni to get the scrumptious, flaky pie crusts she was deprived of in her youth! 12765. Ms. No - 12/17/2004 10:22:38 PM I remember we got to go on a field trip to the Mrs. Baird's bakery when I was in grade school. Everyone got to take home a miniature loaf of bread. They were sooo cute!
12766. judithathome - 12/17/2004 10:43:59 PM We got Devil Dogs when we went...I loved watching that conveyor belt carrying the loaves to be wrapped. You could see it through the big window in front of the bakery.
Sad day when the freeway came through and you could no longer drive past and smell that heavenly bread baking. 12767. Magoseph - 12/17/2004 11:17:00 PM I'm going to borrow my daughter-in-law's bread machine and practice making rye and wheat breads for Flexy, one of these days. If I'm successful, I will buy my own machine. 12768. Max Macks - 12/17/2004 11:25:16 PM There must be at least 50 and maybe a hundred
different brands of bread sold in the Bay Area of Calif.
These are small bakeries.
I have settled on Vital Vittals , raisen rolls.
It is still made by hand and is very popular
Orangic stuff , etc. 12769. Ms. No - 12/17/2004 11:27:32 PM I'll be making sausage bread for a holiday party tomorrow evening. 12770. Magoseph - 12/17/2004 11:41:38 PM Yesterday, my DIL and I went to a nice looking place that is known for its Reuben sandwiches. We didn't know the place at all and we were very hungry. Only after we had a drink and ate our food, did we notice that the bar stools and the tables were occupied by only women. We decided to stay a while just to see if some men would come in--they never did, but in the meantime, we noticed we were being eyed with much interest. It didn't take long for us to get of there, I tell you. 12771. judithathome - 12/18/2004 12:54:58 AM I love Reuben sandwiches. Absolutely. 12772. Max Macks - 12/18/2004 1:38:54 AM I looked in vain for the place here where one
can set the number of posts seen at one time.
I have to scroll down many to get to the last post
which is at the botom not the top of the page. 12773. Ms. No - 12/18/2004 1:44:22 AM It's at the bottom of the tan sidebar. If you're in the posting window and you look just up and to the right you'll see a link to "Home" and one for "Back to the Top" and just below that is where you can set the posts per page. 12774. Max Macks - 12/18/2004 1:46:50 AM Boy that was a fast reply,
thanks Ms.No. 12775. Ms. No - 12/18/2004 1:47:26 AM BTW, I saw that PP had mentioned you starting a word games thread here. Are you amenable to that? If so we need to know what you'd like to call it so we can set a title.
I'm getting ready to be gone for the weekend, but if you email motemoderator@yahoo.com with a title preference we can get started on setting it up and have it ready to go on Monday morning. 12776. Ms. No - 12/18/2004 1:47:54 AM Sometimes I'm on the ball! ;-> 12777. Max Macks - 12/18/2004 1:53:13 AM Wow setting the posts per view at 10
has made it much easier to find the last one.
Ms.No. Re. a word game thread
not sure it would work here because the Mote doesn't have
folders or what ever the term is
for when there are a number of threads to chose
from .
Lets talk about this when you get back next week.
Did you take a look at the link that PP has to my forum
in WorldCrossing?
Maximum Max's Fun With WERDZ 12778. Ms. No - 12/18/2004 1:55:03 AM I only just had a chance to glance at it. I'll take a closer look and we can talk Monday.
Have a good weekend! 12779. Max Macks - 12/18/2004 2:10:11 AM Same to you Ms.N.
12780. arkymalarky - 12/18/2004 3:57:37 AM Judith, we ate at that soul food place we went to with you and Keoni and it was soooo good. Yams and collard greens and cabbage and ribs and catfish--they also had liver and some other stuff I didn't eat. And custard pie for dessert.
