Our need for fresh  bread always seems to sneak up on me. Sometimes I bake a couple of loaves and think "This should be enough for the rest of the week," and then my husband starts eating it for snacks and I run out and have to make some on Thursday or else I won't have anything to send in his lunches on Friday or for him to eat for breakfast (he is not an oatmeal person and gets up too early to run the blender).
