And I do make my own bread on occasion. There are more important things
to do around here than to continuously make bread. Grind my own wheat,
nope, see previous sentence. I preserve what I want to eat that we like
and the descendants like. Bread is to cheap to spend time making for the
little bit that we eat. To each his own.

Oh yeah, freezing things you buy is also food preserving. Like meat,
veggies, bread, desserts etc.
