For snacks my favorite is a sharp cheddar with apples, crusty bread, or crackers. For sandwiches I like a mild chedder or Swiss.

All our supermarkets have a bakery on-site that bakes fresh bread all day. The choices are incredible - potato scallion, French, Belgian, Italian, multi-grain, calabrese, sesame seed, poppy seed, etc, etc. and often they are still warm from the oven. I wouldn't even bother making bread with all that available.Originally Posted by KittKatt
That's another thing: try and find a good loaf of store-bought bread now-a-days. Most of it is disgusting!
I remember when my mom used to make her own homemade bread - from scratch.Take a slice of that fresh from the oven, and slather it with real butter!It's to die for!
Yeah, I never have gotten into making bread because I don't have the strength in my hands for kneading, and I used to regret that. Dad had some wonderful bread recipes that I would love to have taken over doing, but with all the gorgeous bread available these days, frankly I have better things to do with my time! As you say, even the supermarkets have wonderful stuff, and then there are umpteen dozen awesome bakeries...Originally Posted by Yosemite
