Bread Ball

Might I take a moment to step away from my typical post topics and speak to another form of culinary appreciation... playing with one's food.

Last night as I began to toss a three-week old neglected loaf of bread into the trash, my husband had an epiphany. An epiphany that only can be described as sheer brilliance and can be summed up in two words: Baguette Baseball.

So out we went to our neighborhood community lawn to test out our new makeshift bat. I took my stance, Lane pitched a perfect throw, and one swing was all it took! The loaf exploded into a thousand bread bits and we in turn erupted into laughter and smiles.

Despite missing the "prime" of this baguette, I'd say I still got my $1.59's worth.
