In line with conversations I've had in the past with people here and elsewhere about 'bread, proper home storage of', I put the two sliced loaves I brought home last week out on the counter instead of putting them into the fridge right away as I always do.
Within a day or two, one of them had developed small spots of mold on some of the slices (on the crust). Being frugal, I cut those bits off those slices and then put both loaves in the fridge immediamente.
The last time I bought a whole loaf from the baker at the farmers' market, I kept it out all week in its paper bag. There was never any sign of mold, but the bread began hardening as soon as I took the first slice off, and by the end of the week it was near rocklike.
Can't win for losing...

sultry day
May. 24th, 2009 03:56 pmI went out to the farmers' market, fed the cats next door, got lunch from Pollo Campero*, and I've been watching telly off the DVR.I'm not sure what's making it harder to stay awake--the heat and humidity or the piles of sleeping cats everywhere. :-) I've had a cafetiere of coffe with breakfast and a coke (after lunch) and I'm still dozing.
Trying to figure out whether to keep trying to stay awake or just take a nap.
Oh, wait, Busby's found a cat toy. I think I'll be staying awake a while longer... :-)
ETA: Cooling down a bit now and breezier, but still sultry.
* After hearing for so long about what a huge deal this is in CentAm, I've been wanting to try it for a while. Not much different from KFC, except slightly less greasy (+) and a more exotic selection of sides and drinks (+) which are mostly much more bland than US alternatives (-). The black beans and rice are less spicy than Cajun red beans and rice, but still tasty. The "spicy rice" is not at all spicy, almost flavourless. I chose a soft drink at random, maranon, which was odd but OK. Turns out it's cashew-fruit juice!
