In summer, when the first tomatoes have ripened, I sometimes crave tomato sandwiches....thin, thin bread, Danish butter... 8)
Method: Buy loaf of bread from bakery 2 miles away.
Drive to friend, abt 5 miles from bakery.
Watch in admiration as she slices it paper-thin.
Drive myself and sliced bread 7 miles back home
Freeze spare slices 'til the next time the craving hits me
;D
PS bakeries used to thinly slice bread? Now the choices are 'medium' 'thick' and 'extra thick'.
So usually I buy baguettes.
