Whatcha Eating?

My favourite is either Helgas mixed grain or Tip Top 9 grain. I also love toasted raisin bread with butter and strawberry jam.

We don't have those breads here. Raisin bread... yeah, I love that as well.

I didn't think you would as both are Australian brands. It wouldn't be very fresh by the time it was shipped to the US

I dunno. I have had bread over a month still be good here. That shipment of Aussie food I ordered got here in 5 days.

I don't think it would last the slow boat journey. Our bread doesn't last long. Probably because it's not full of preservatives. We freeze our bread till we are ready to eat it.

Unfortunately, breads that don't grow mold after a week have preservatives.

Brraky today was a few strawberries, a banana, some vanilla yogurt, and granola.

Well, I do keep my breads in the fridge.

Yeah, that slows it down a tiny bit, but mold still grows fairly well at fridge temp.
Freezing is what really halts their growth.

Probably the longest I have ever had any bread item besides tortillas is a month in the fridge.

Commercial tortillas are the worst, in regards to preservatives!
My favorite bread growing up was Wonder white bread, but that stuff is more chemicals than food.

Not too concerned about it to be honest. I don't eat enough bread for it to even matter. I just looked up the preservatives in the tortillas I buy. Nothing I'd be too concerned with unless I were eating them every meal every day.

We grew up eating Wonder bread too. We went to a Wonder bread outlet store all the time back in the day. They always had a lot more stuff than the stores sold.

Not calling you out or anything, I'm no nutrional health nut. Just an FYI.
Real, traditional tortilla consists of only about 3 to 4 ingredients. Below is the ingredients from Mission brand.

A lot of those are vitamins and other supposedly helpful minerals, and you are just seeing the scientific name. Flour has most of those in it. Like thiamine mononitrate is vitamin B1. The only two preservatives - calcium propionate and sorbic acid are fairly tame. The first one actually adds calcium. The second one is only bad for you if you consume a lot of it. At least that's what I gathered from doing some googling.

To be fair, I've been eating the store bought tortillas my whole life. At my age, not gonna start worrying now about having a few store bought tortillas a month, especially since I have consumed a lot of them in the past. In the last two years, I have maybe bought 6 packages of them?

Took Mrs. X and MIL (and 2 kids) out to Teresa's Italian Eatery for Mother's day.

My wife wanted spaghetti for mothers day so I cooked up a pot.

We have an assortment of leftovers, so it's everybody for themselves tonight. Mrs. X and I, each, made our own nachos.
