Does anyone have experience or recommendations for mailing SD loaves?
A dear friend has just had very complicated surgery for cancer. Three
years ago, I sent a small music system that had sounds of rain, wind,
waterfalls, etc. It worked out really well during his hospital stay to
help mask out sounds and then later when he was home.

This time, I want to send something for the family, in particular. I
don't like sending flowers. I thought perhaps I could mail out each
week a different loaf of bread as sustenance for the family, and then
hopefully, for my friend. I've read that rye bread lasts the longest
(never made it, but that's okay). I've also read (I know I read too
much sometimes) that honey or milk can help preserve bread. Right now,
my SD loaves are simply my SD starter, a combination of flours, and
salt. I figure I would need to bake the bread, cool it sufficiently,
put it in a plastic bag (yes?), package it well, and then send it
overnight or two day express.
Thanks,
Diane
