Ok, time for true confessions... I'm a better than average cook. When it comes to baking,well I need a lot of work.

AHA! Just from the bit you've already told us, I knew you were a great cook! I bet your baking is better than what you're saying too. But sort of like chickens...there's always something new to learn in the kitchen!

I'm glad you joined us

Baking is always something we improve on!

It is usually good even when you mess up!

When the Daughters were little I bake a cake that fell apart when I was getting it out of the pan. I made a new one and while it was baking we enjoyed some chocolate miscake!

Takes me back 30+ years. Maybe 40+ years.... DW needed to bake a cake for her foster mom. I helped. It was a catastrophe. I called a friend who was a baker and ran over and got a cake. MIL never knew it wasn't baked in her kitchen.

Great Story!

Does anyone use any kind of preservative in their baking?

Why would preservative be needed? Baked goods are always best if eaten within a day or two.

Just curious. Most bakeries do use a preservative and I usually make a couple of loaves at a time and with just hubby and me, we can't eat both loaves in a couple of days. I also made some sub rolls.

I freeze loaves after I bake them those look great

cmom, it's great to see you again! How have you been? I haven't been on the FL thread for a long time, hope all is well (you guys had a rough year weather-wise). Your bread looks wonderful!
