@melis DON’T LIVE ON MILK AND COOKIES WHEN ALL YOU WANT IS BREAD!
This makes me think of that scene in Stranger than Fiction when Mr. Crick gives Ms. Pascal a dozen flours because she’s a baker. The cutest. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74S5aT3_AfM

I would like to contribute the following to this conversation: female bakers are called “baxters” so if you find one please send her to me right away
@melis is that true that can’t be true
emily roth chiming in to say that the downside to marrying a baker is never seeing said baker. 2am-5pm shifts are bonk.
@emilyo I already use “bonkers” way too much in conversation but I think I am going to switch to “bonk.” I really like it.
Thanks Anna Jayne!
I started baking my own bread about a month ago. The flour I bought from Heartland Mills is delivered in cloth sacks so adorable I want to cradle it. I think even with the organic bread, I’m coming out ahead. Maybe not Wonderbread ahead, but you know whole grain ahead.
@Dont Move to Finland and the great thing about bread is you can literally do anything with it: bread salad, bread soup, bread pudding, bread with things in between it, bread with butter, just bread bread
when you have bread, you’re rich.
although i should mention when you marry a baker and he pays to import a $85 loaf of bread from the pre-eminent french baker lionel poliane, it kind of defeats the purpose.
Obligatory.
