I've very rarely had bread go moldy, doesn't lay around long enough... I keep a couple loaves in the freezer and the one I'm working on in the fridge. About the only baked goods that will sometimes develop mold are the expired packages I buy at discount to feed critters, sometimes I buy a whole lot so when I notice mold it all goes out at once, critters don't mind a tiny bit of mold. Yesterday I tossed out a package of three remaining corn muffins that were so awful I wouldn't eat them, they were hiding in the back of my fridge and not moldy but hard as rocks, geese consumed every speck in minutes. |

Not that I feel that I have to pass it mind you. Wow Julie! >:-[] This bothers me. If your husband has actually done a "white glove inspection" on you at your home...he sounds like a tyrant and bordering on mental/emotional abuse <disclaimer> I'm not picking on you here. I'm on your side. What I write is what I would write to my daughter if her husband did that. I understand that the military is very anal about inspections but he needs to leave that crap at the base and not take it home to you. Next time he does a "white glove inspection" and is not happy with the results, you tell him where he can stick his white gloves. Then hand him a pair of rubber gloves, some kind of cleaner, and a toothbrush and tell him to fix the problem that he has. At least make him clean the bathroom...he's the only one peeing in there standing up and splattering urine all around the toilet. You throw his white gloves into the cat litter box. The cat won't have any problem pooping on them. Gary |

Well better a white glove inspection that a surgical glove inspection I suppose. |

Yep. He also expects me to treat the kitchen like they do in the military which is to go in every so often throughout the day and wipe every surface down. I have explained that we do not have countless people running in and out of there and if we aren't currently using it there is no need for that. > > Next time he does a "white glove inspection" and is not happy with the > results, you tell him where he can stick his white gloves.

I'd suggest looking at the bread before you buy it if it's moldy before you even open it. Doesn't it have any clear parts in the bag that you can look through? Most bread does. |

Doesn't it have any clear parts in > the bag that you can look through? Most bread does. It looks find when I buy it. I have looked. It's just odd to me that *that* bread is getting moldy when the other bread I have in the house is not. Today I had a few slices of honey whole wheat left that expired yesterday. No mold that I could see. Of course from what I have read online, you won't see the mold when it first starts. And once you do see it, it has really invaded the product. |
