Grandma Sycamore's bread

Ever heard of this bread? For those of you who will admit to eating white bread ( gasp), you have to try this. I was in Target the other day and looking for bread. Sometimes, I get the wheat bread, mostly I go for a homemade kind of taste white bread. Not the usual generic stuff on the shelves. Most often I end up with a loaf of French or Italian bread. Then I saw this. I was intrigued. So I quickly looked it up on my phone and found a ton of people who were looking for it. Apparently, it is made in Utah.
Period. No where else.
And people who move away from Utah MUST HAVE IT. They swear it makes the worlds best french toast.  Some found it at Sam's Club, but it is always sold out, they claim.
So I bought a loaf.
Oh. My. Gosh.
Now I understand what these people were talking about. As soon as you open it, it smells like it came out of your own oven. Smells nothing like the other breads you buy, not even remotely. (My biggest pet peeve is buying bread that is old...has that almost mold smell? Annoying.)
Then I made a sandwich.
 Ok. I may have a new addiction.
This bread is delicious. Flat out delicious.
I even went as far as getting online to praise it's worthiness to the company and there is no website for it. Just a bakery that bakes and is not interested in touting itself thru the miracle of the world wide web. What?
 They do have a phone number that I just may have to call today.
What will I say?
" you guys are amazing and MUST expand your bakery to Washington state. Please."
 If I don't have to bake my own and get THIS at a price of 2.39 a loaf.......I am so there.
If Target ever decides to discontinue this bread, well.....I don't want to even think about what that will do to me.
Go buy some. Even you claim you never eat the white stuff. I won't tell anyone.

Brilliant!!

Blimey, I may have gone off the bloomin edge.
It's no secret that I adore PBS's "Downton Abbey"~ and that I was holding off watching the last seasons closer episode.
Because the season opener begins in January.
Unless you live in England. Because, THEN, it began two weeks ago.
What the heck? Why the delay for the United states? It can't possibly be for the lack of technology.
And then, I found it.
I was arse over elbow ( head over heels) when I was reading from fans that there are websites you can watch  the episodes on now! Bob's your uncle! ( hurrah!)
Which brings me to my problem.
I was forced ( and by forced, I mean giddy) to watch the season ender , then the next two episodes currently. All in one sitting. So I charged my glasses ( got a drink), found a wing back chair, my smoking jacket (?) and luxuriated.
And so now, I talk like this.
With a British accent. And if I could pull it off like a pro, I would talk like this awwwwl the time.
I would.
Just know that, if you were around me long enough, I could probably get you to talk the same.
Don't doubt it for a tic.
absobloodylootely.
