Just out of the oven Gotta share the beauty of good old-fashioned French Bread

I think this is a good excuse to start drinking at 1:00 p.m.... ('wan't'???)

I think that's why we baked bread so much, especially when the boys were growing up.

They *loved* watching it come out of the oven, and there's something so absolutely primal about the aroma of bread baking on a winter's day.

Or any day, for that matter.

Beautiful loaf, Cathy!
