Yeah, becsue as all experienced cooks know, measurement of spices is an
exact science. You must have exactly 1/2 t and not a single seed more,
right? If I want rye stuffing, I'm gonna use seeded rye and make life
easy.

Anyways, it just struck my (admittedly odd) sense of humor as alittle
wierd to purposely buy seed-free rye bread only to add the seeds right
back in. Maybe it's just me.
