There's plenty of forums on Skins's island where the primitives display their selfishness, their unconcernedness, their utter lack of virtue, regarding the lot of humanity, nearly all of which is considerably less well-fed than the primitives.
But in the cooking and baking forum, their hypocrisy shines the glaringest.
This is NOT meant as a criticism of decent and civilized people who like fine foods and fine cuisine; it IS meant as a criticism of primitives who insist they're "morally superior" to the rest of us, scarfing down only the finest of foods, the vision of gaunt, underfed, starving people not even haunting them.
That sort of "moral superiority" or "virtue" is shit.

I have an excellent loaf of bread that I needed freezing, What's the best method?
I have Ciabatta I need to go through first, but it might take me a few days, and this "Winter White" loaf which was baked today isn't going to get any better. So I want to freeze it.
Suggestions?
I already told this story, but it's worth repeating.
When I was wandering around the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants with free medical care for all, the most-common food was dark bread, manufactured by the government.
Because of the shortages and corruption natural in a socialist system, the bread was made of flour and.....grated potato peelings and sawdust.
Great source of fiber; the primitives, with their preponderance of problems with the evacuatory system, should try this socialist bread; it would do them no harm and much good.

1. Just make sure the wrapper is air tight and that you've squeezed as much air out of it as possible. Big freezer bags do the trick. Air is what dries the bread out in the freezer and makes it go stale.
Thawing should be done at room temperature unless you preslice the loaf and do it as needed in the toaster, which is what I do in summer when homemade bread seems to go moldy in just a couple of days.
Homemade bread probably won't languish in the freezer for more than a week or two, but freezing for that time preserves its quality a lot better than any other method.

2. we use "press and seal" and it works great - just make sure it is completely wrapped.
