Dave ruined a loaf of bread in classic dave fashion by failing to add salt. This is by far his most frequent baking error. You may underestimate how important salt is in bread. You shouldn’t. It is basically uneatable without it. And this is from a couple of people keep their standards low. It can be used for breadcrumbs or croutons. Trust us when we say a 2lb loaf of bread makes a lot of bread crumbs. The good news it was a loaf of anadama bread – that sweet dark heavenly loaf new englander’s know and love. yum. YUM! This is why that was good. Because earlier this week Amy C. requested more info on anadama. Since dave’s last attempt didn’t end up in an eatable loaf we are not sick of eating this type of bread and are totally ready for a loaf of anadama. Of course we wouldn’t have been sick of it even if we had eaten the whole thing because it is so scrumptious. So that entry should be forthcoming. Also, we may be attempting relish again. We had another bounty of cukes this weekend. As we speak dave is rushing to the farmer’s market to get baby cukes to supplement our own. Chances are when he gets there all the vendors will be gone or they will still be there, his hopes will swell that he will be able to get them, only to be disappointed when he learns that they have all been sold out. We shall see when he returns. This morning we were very excited to purchase a box of 2nds peaches (bruised or dented ones which are half of and perfect for baking) only to find out they sold out moments before we arrived. This was after talking with our friend molly for days about how delightful a peach cobbler would be… with either ice cream or homemade frozen yogurt to top it off. yum. YUM! YUM! (that is right, YUM! X 2). So no peach cobbler or peach salsa this week. Anyways, stay tuned for more news regarding the cukes and anadama bread.
