Now I don't like pumpernickel bread. I find it dry, course and crummy to the point of being very messy when you cut it. I whine about pumpernickel bread every time we have it. However , someone in my house happens to like pumpernickel bread so I will eat it all the while grumbling about it.
Now this week we had a loaf of pumpernickel bread and of course I whined. This loaf was worse than most. It was really messy and crummy. Many crumbs fell out of the bag and they seem to get on the floor.
Now a month ago I fell down the stairs. I wasn't hurt but four loaves of bread were squashed and some soup tins very badly crushed. So while I was complaining I was coldly reminded that I fell on this loaf of bread and that I should be thankful as it broke my fall. I shouldn't complain about the crumbs as it was my fault.
From now on I better watch what I say!
i am laughing out LOUD!!! way to go mrs. red!
ReplyDeleteI do get put in my place once in a while.
DeleteSurely not!
DeleteYou are quite right Red. It is difficult because sometimes you hurt someone's feelings without realizing it.
ReplyDeleteAs for pumpernickel, have you ever tried toasting it? I find it much more palatable toasted.
Toasting doesn't help. I think I should by pumpernickel bread from a store other than superstore!
DeleteThat is funny. We don't have pumpernickel bread here. It sounds as though I should be grateful.
ReplyDeleteIt's also called dark rye bread.
DeleteGood morning Red,
ReplyDeleteSorry about your fall. I love pumpernickel. My father was german and I was raised on it. I ike mine with a good smear of butter and thick sliced salami.
I was lucky not to get hurt on the fall. Well, maybe I'll try butter and salami.
DeleteAnd say only nice things about soup tins as well
ReplyDeleteAlways!
DeleteHa,ha, your life saved by the pumpernickel bread. Funny story.
ReplyDeleteWell, I couldn't say my life was saved by pumpernickel bread , but it was made much softer.
Deleteha,ha you are so funny - thank you for the messy, crummy pumpernickel laugh Red. I'm still glad the Pumpernickle saved you and you know the old saying " Pumpernickle saved the day so I shan't ever complain again". he,he Have a wonderful day.
ReplyDeleteWhere do you come up with the sayings? they are great !
DeleteOh, dear! The crummy bread is a small price to pay for not being crushed yourself, Red. Made me laugh. I too hope I don't offend anybody and apologize if I do. It's the right thing to do. :-)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize I fell on the bread until my wife was completing putting the groceries away. She was not happy to find all the crumbs on the floor.
DeleteHahaha...oh that is funny! Not your fall, of course, but that the bread you don't like broke your fall! Well, I have to say that I really like pumpernickel bread.
ReplyDeleteKind of ironic, isn't it. I'm sure there are many people who love pumpernickel and I'm sure if I didn't buy it from superstore it would be much better.
DeleteOh you are just too funny! I always get a smile or a chuckle when I visit your blog. You're like me: honest to a fault, even when it gets me in trouble.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind getting into trouble for being honest.
DeleteJust made some, it seems to be an acquired taste. I like it toasted with butter and cream cheese.
ReplyDeleteHome made bread of any kind is much better than what you buy. We have a bread maker and don't use it anymore.
DeleteSo you will eat the crummy bread and like it! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, Mom!!!
DeleteSo no matter how bad things get, it could always be crumbier. ;)
ReplyDeleteOoh that sharp play on words again . Good one!
DeleteHave you tried pumpernickel bagels? I just love them.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to watch for them.
DeleteI have never tasted pumpernickel bread. I plan to start looking for it. Wonder if people in North Carolina eat pumpernickel bread?? :)
