in thinking that fresh baked crusty bread

[hobnobsaremyfavourite]

is life's greatest pleasure. ( and no I didn't bake it myself [not a domestic godess emoticon] ). I bought a loaf earlier and now I am sitting here troughing it slathered in butter. [big fat greedy porker emoticon]

Oh I love Fresh Tiger bread with butter!!

[ethelina]

With fresh coffee and dark chocolate.

[mutznutz]

Yep..and if it's stuffed with grilled, crispy bacon..it's totally orgasmic

[Rhinestone]

Oooh yes! Hot from the oven and dripping with butter. Served with a cup of tea.

Also very good with very strong cheddar.

[hobnobsaremyfavourite]

oohh no did you have to mention bacon?????

[emmanana]

I hate you !
I have to go past the local bakers this afternoon, and I just know I'll be thinking about your post. They are baking constantly, and the loaf will still be warm when I get home. (Checks fridge for butter)
(Not weak-willed am I?!)
YADNBU though!!!

[mutznutz]

Waaaaahh! I am hiding this thread! I am doing the dukan diet and I've gone all shaky just reading this!

[mutznutz]

fanny I read that as you're doing the 'drunken diet'....I was almost interested in doing it

Hobnobs - we had a similar problem at the dses old primary school - there was the most wonderful local bakery opposite. They sold delicious home made bread and sausage rolls, and iced buns - but their piece de resistance was doughnuts filled with tiptree raspberry jam. I have never tasted a better doughnut anywhere.

It got to the point where I'd have to leave my purse at home to help me resist temptation (and the begging of the dses on the way home from school).

Will you stop it Hobnob?
There's a lovely deli two doors down from the bakers, I will now be forced to go in and buy some lovely Parma ham cakes cheese chocolates essential herbs for my healthy chicken casserole.

Mutznutz.
Try the Cider Vinegar diet.

Bottle of Magners
Fish and Chips, liberally sprinkled with vinegar....

[JaneS]

Mmmmm .... I hate you people ...



I especially love the smell when you have fresh-baked brown bread and the butter melts into it ... my mum makes it with wheatgerm cooked into the top so it's all extra-crunchy and yum.

With M&S Scottish salted butter. Delicious.

[hobnobsaremyfavourite]

emmanana That sounds like my kind of diet

[emmanana]

Anyone like some Jam to go with their bread?

The grandchildren insist on taking Mum fruit picking every year.
'Only fill your baskets to the top kids'
They hear this as 'see who can pick the most'
It costs her a fortune every time and DM is nnow caretaker of Europe's Jam Mountain. The whole street eat Grannys strawberry jam!

[hobnobsaremyfavourite]

ooh Jam!!

[TorcherQueenie]

Ohh! I got one from Tesco today Tesco finest Mediterranean bread. Bloody lovely it is too! Even fussy DH loves it

[emmanana]

Hobnob - thank you for your menu suggestion
half a loaf and pate later...

[Mists]

YANBU. I had to take the train to school in the eighties and the service was shite. A hot freshly baked bread roll with melted butter and (bizarrely) salad cream set me up for the day.

[OhYouBadBadKitten]

I hate you all. we only have greggs in our town.
