Bread.

french bread is amazing

Real french bread is dangerous. Leave it for more than a day and you've got a weapon to fend off hobos while you make runs for cheap wine.

A recent bread I've come to love is the amish chain letter bread that gets passed around. Over the holidays, a friend of mine gave me some of that, and although you're supposed to spread it around, I got greedy and kept it all for myself. Mostly, its awesome because the base formula is so malleable. You can mix damn near anything in there, and it still ranges from passable to damn good.

So far tried basic, pistachios, chocolate, heath bars, peanut butter, strawberry rhubarb (kick ass), walnuts and almonds, apple and applesauce, and raspberry.

Also, not too hard to start up if you don't have a handy amish person around. Simply put 1 c. flour, 1 c. sugar, 1 c. milk, and 1 T. yeast in a ziploc bag and let it sit on the counter. Call that Day 1, and you’re good to go. After that, search online and there are a bunch of places that detail the rest of it.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
