I see you point, but our goals in bread-baking are different. I don't bake
bread as often as I used to because I can't afford to eat that much of it.
When I do bake bread, I prefer eating slices or chunks of it with just
butter on it, either with a meal or by itself. If the bread is a day or so
older, I would probably toast it. I never use it for sandwiches. I simply
*must* bake this bread!
