I never thought baking would tire me out. I am exhausted from baking all this bread.

Time for a nap.

By the way, that rectangular one is not a 4x4 piece of lumber, it’s a Pullman loaf. Looks like a 4x4, though.

Pullman made the Railroad Cars, In my area BTW. He made luxury cars, and also had a Kitchen car. Everything was made fresh, including the bread. The covered bread pans made consistent shape, and size of slices. The pans were also square, and stacked well in storage. Every cubic inch of kitchen was well thought out /engineered
