Ohhhhh, John! That sounds glorious. Guess what I'm adding to my shopping list. Heck, haven't had any brie in ages. It's about time, right? Thanks for the excellent recipe!

I missed out on the comments so I'll share a little recipe to go with brioche. Take a small piece of soft, ripe brie. Add a finely chopped spring onion [you call them scallions or something] ora handful of chives, chopped. A healthy dollop of mayo. A little fresh ground black pepper. Then, bash it about a bit, not to blend, but to mix. Spoon and spread on the brioche or serve on the side. If you use enough mayo, it'll do as a very nice dip for any good bread.

Aww gee, ladies, I feel your pain. The calorie problem cannot be ignored, of course. My expanding middle anatomy can attest to that. (sigh) I can only say that if we want to enjoy the fruit of the grain, we have to attend to the quantity consumed and we have to be willing to share generously. The more of a loaf our friends and loved ones eat, the less of it will end up on our thighs. Right?

Okey dokey. I love bread too and anything that can be spread on it, jammed between two thick slices, or just grabbed in all it's goodness all by it's lonesome.

I have one problem and want to know if you have the answer for me.

How do I consume this lovely stuff and not be the winner of the fattest gal in Texas contest?

I remember as a kid going to a local bakery at night as all of us piled in someone's car and then cruisin' around eating warm bread that the bakery GAVE to us. Talk about a lovely perfume in that car.

Oh No.......I who am on Weight Watchers salute you. I don't think I even dare to read you as I will gain twenty pounds. Just looking at the page I gained three. It has to be the homemade mayo. Oh goodness.

Hey, Dee, My name is Jo and I'm a breadaholic, too. You made me so laugh this morning.

Never apologize for your plethora of bread recipes, dear. Bread is the staff of life, or stuff of life, or something like that.

Just testing. John tipped me off that the Comments link had gone AWOL. Turns out a setting had switched itself off, deciding, apparently, it didn't want to go to work today. All seems to be properly in place now. Carry on, folks!
