I’m a folder

  1. I’m a neat folder.

    You take the top of the bag, give it a good twist, open up the top and fold it down over the bread. Sometimes you need to have removed more than one slice of bread to do. Neat, easy, you don’t need a twist tie, and as you come to the end of the loaf, you are actually double bagging it, in a way.

  2. Me?
    I’m all three.
    It’s a ritual:
    #1 when the loaf is new.
    #2 when I lose the wire thingie.
    #3 when there is only a few slices left and it’s not worth the effort anymore.

  3. Missus won’t permit the use of those hard plastic clips that come on bread as sold. Twist tie mandatory.

    Which leads to the position of the toilet seat discussion.

    I live in a dictatorship.

  4. I’m a twist tie guy myself. My Mom had a box of ’em in her kitchen that had decades worth. She was a depression kid and you know what that meant. You wouldn’t believe what I’ve found going through things after she passed.

  5. I spin the bread around and twist the bag then set it in the fridge twisted part down so the bread sits on the twist. Seems to work OK. Or I use a potato chip bag clip.

  6. Twist tie.

    Now, which of these two types are you:

    (1) leaves the heel on the top until the bottom heel is reached

    (2) eats the heel on the top as part of the first sandwich

  7. stirrin the pot

    Anything with refined flour in it is something to avoid. And mass produced white bread just keeps getting worse.
    There’s few things as tasty is home made bread with healthy ingredients.

  8. What always amazes me is how when the loaf half gone there is a heal in the middle.

    Yeah yeah, I know, Mrs Galt leaves it there to help keep the rest of the loaf fresh. The heal is the best part of it for me especially toasted.

    That’s what I figured, just wanted to confirm. I don’t eat white bread either – only whole grain multigrain.

    Thirdtwin – I’m a #1. End up with two heels become toast for breakfast or sandwich for lunch I don’t have another loaf to open.

  10. I agree about homemade bread. But who has time for that?

    Sliced bread is what defines us as advanced culture, as opposed to the third world where all bread is round and flat.

    And twist ties aren’t available. Closest thing to a twist tie is grandpa’s ear hair.

  11. Next topic. Toilet paper roll mounting. Overhand or slow pitch? Waterfall or backhoe?

    Either it cascades over the top or it is gathered beneath the roll from the back.

  12. I am a number 1, because AA.
    Brad look for Granny Sycamore’s Home Made Bread it’s the only white bread we will eat.
    It lacks something that all of the other breads have that is bad for you can’t remember what it is.
    The bread man at the store told us about it. Good bread and great toast, holds lots of butter

  13. White bread = peanut butter and jelly and grilled cheese,
    good deli rye bread = ham and cheese, tuna on toast.

    No whole grain nothing!

    Sour dough is okay and ciabatta is a good substitute to real Italian bread.

    Oh, the rate we go through bread? We are folders…but for whatever reason I keep the twistys in the junk drawer? Like I plan on using them one day??

  14. “Between the Folds” – last evening I watched the trailer for this film on Amazon Prime.

    This award-winning documentary depicts a cast of artists and eccentric scientists who have devoted their lives to the unlikely medium of modern origami.

    “BETWEEN THE FOLDS chronicles 10 of their stories. Featuring interviews with and insights into the practice of these intrepid paper folders, the film opens with three of the world’s foremost origami artists: a former sculptor in France who folds caricatures in paper rivaling the figures of Daumier and Picasso; a hyper-realist who walked away from a successful physics career to challenge the physics of a folded square instead; and an artisanal papermaker who folds impressionistic creations from the very same medium he makes from scratch. ..”

    Oh, I’m a # 1 type a guy. Following the style of MJA.

  15. Twist and Shout
    Well, shake it up, baby, now
    Twist and shout
    Come on, come on, come, come on, baby, now
    Come on and work it on out
    Well, work it on out, honey
    You know you look so good
    You know you got me goin’ now
    Just like I know you would

  16. Uncle Al’s superior bread bag sealing method:

    0. throw away plastic clip
    1. twist excess bag plastic, minimizing trapped air
    2. fold the twisted part over, doubling it
    3. wrap twist tie around doubled twisted bag TWICE for a snugger seal

  17. I’m No 1. I don’t like tying anything like a bag as I get frustrated trying to untie it. I keep extra plastic clips in a drawer just for that reason. It’s like collecting rubber bands and string. I can hear it now when I’m dead and gone: “Mom, why did you hang on to this crap?”

  18. Ghost is full of hooie! He doens’t close anything up. Twist ties all the way!! And “I” keep extras in the junk draw becasue I know I will need them. Not like others in my house who have no clue where anything is in the first place! I know white bread is full of preservatives but PHenry is right, you can’t have PB&J or Grilled Cheese on anything else.

    I can’t get into the toilet paper issues, yet. We have a house divided!

  19. Next thing you know we will be talking about how to make a ‘hospital corner’ for the bread AND the toilet paper…

    Do other breads suffer from such debates or ONLY white bread??

    OH SHIT…there goes ‘White’ Bread…down the gastric historic rabbit hole…of revised history.
