Yeah, my protein bread has been getting moldy recently so I decided to put it in the fridge.

It's interesting that even with wood being replaced with other things since the 70s, my 60s era bread box was metal. So was my grandmother's. Mine had a mirror finish and my grandmother's was yellow. They're mostly wood today. BTW, my bread is Panera Multigrain.

Re: Thinking of ditching my bread box
My new apartment has kitchen cabinets with a built-in bread box. I had look it up to learn it's a bread box. I was making good progress figuring out where to put things but I still have no plans for the bread box. Potatoes and onions? Banana ripening? It stunk badly and I'd rather not infuse it with a new generation of smells.

Re: Thinking of ditching my bread box
I'm thinking of ditching my roommate. He's a snot box. Now me, he's a charming clean and neat freak that deserves better roommates.
