Well, really to the In Laws. I've been baking up and warehousing a few different breads to pack in my bags as treats for them. They've been documented here before, but here's the lot of them:
1 dmsnyder style son of SJSD batard (sesame seeds added just for kicks!)
1 Forkish bakery style Raisin Pecan Whole Wheat Levain batard
1 FWSY Field Blend #2 Levain batard
1 dmsnyder style Italian Sesame Levain batard
1 Forkish bakery style Country Brown Levain batard
That should hold them for a while!

these made it safely and still frozen. Packed in checked luggage. A flexible insulated bag, a set of blue ice blocks, the batards and a box of homemade boyos** nestled safely inside. Packed at 5 AM, retrieved and back into the freezer at a little past noon. They took up a full half of my 21" roller bag, gusset expanded :-o .
**boyos are cheese and spinach filled doughs, a specialty of Rhodes and Turkish Sephards. And totally addicting. These are my wife's domain. I simply do as told. Did I mention totally addicting? These to be delivered to our friend's mother for her surprise 90th on Sunday. The link I found features, as it turns out, our friend Renee in Portland. http://204.130.176.200/news/npr/166686060 . My wife's version is a little different, and as with many old generational recipes as hand-me-downs, there are multiple versions and inaccurate measurements. Measurements like 'a small handful' - which is somewhat useless because whose hand and how big, etc.
diet avoiding in laws are the very best to have! This means you have a a chance for a perfect life if your wife is wealthy, brilliant, beautiful, generous and totally smitten by you! Just like mine..... if she peering in :-) That is a load of white bread with one 30% whole grain bread & raisins in there to break up the monotony! We have to get you on the whole grain trail to Nirvana ! Well done, safe travels and
Happy In - Law Visiting - I used to bring a bottle of whisky - hope the bread works just as well.......
as is the Country Brown, and the Italian batard is 40% durum wheat. So my batting average for a fair amount of non AP flour is pretty good here, especially for me. I'd mentioned way back that my wife - all of those things that you said pertain to her here too for the same reasons, has been iffy with fibrous foods, so I have to strike a happy medium around these parts.
If I do bring a bottle of whiskey it'll be for self-medication around them ;-), and then I can use the empty bottle for self defense when they get tired of my endless drunken jabbering'.
DAB...For them or you??? LOL
My outlaws live in town so I regularly lose extra loaves to them. All those loaves look delish.
I'm now the carb avoider...temporarily anyway...its summer and those extra pounds have been commanded to leave.
if I got a discount for cracked open loaves...
His sister used to state... "You really have to love a man to bake him rye bread." ...I never knew how to take that one. :)
But self-love works for me. :-)

the definition of pumpernickel that is associated with evil wind sprites, aka devil's farts. None of this business about Napoleon and his horse.
