Ham sandwich with cheese on sourdough bread


Whole Foods rosemary sourdough bread. What can I say? It tastes great for store-bought bread and it's not the massive pain in the beau-tox that making sourdough bread is when you do it yourself for one person. 

See, you have to keep the culture alive and going full blast for the whole thing to work. That's doing it the right way, not the slipshod way of using the culture as flavoring. Then it must be fermented to bring out the sour flavor with appreciable intensity. And all that is such a drag when compared with regular bread that is quite fast by comparison. 

The result is well worth it, I know, I know, I know, but honestly there's only so far we bachelor bread elitists types are willing to go. It's a bit like hang gliding. We've tasted the glory of flight and that's sufficient to satisfy the dream. We don't have to go soaring around like a bird everyday.
