As I mentioned previously, I picked up our grocery order from Walmart yesterday. One of the items that has continually been out of stock since the beginning of the pandemic crisis is the freshly baked French bread that Walmart carries for only $1.00 a loaf.
I put it in the shopping basket and figured that it would be sold out by the time they picked my order. But no!! We got a loaf of French bread. And is was fresh, as in just baked!
We had a slice with our dinner last night with a little bit of butter spread on it. It was so good! Do you like French bread? I have to admit that is is a weakness for me. I love hot bread with butter on it.

That's fantastic! I'm glad you managed to get your French bread. I'm sure it was very nice. I haven't had any in a long time. If I got some I'd have to get plant based butter too to go on it! (I'm macrobiotic, which is close enough to vegan).

- love it! I'm fine with just butter, but Hubby likes it with some garlic or garlic powder, sometimes parmesan cheese, or olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

You did get lucky. There have been some things that we want that are also always out of stock.

French bread is absolutely a weakness of mine. My husband can't eat it (gluten intolerant), so I try not to buy it very often because I'll eat the whole loaf. Have you made a grilled cheese with it? Or french toast? Divine.

I love warm bread with butter on it. We have been without a stove for a month so no bread. Our stove had to be ordered so we will have it in two weeks. My husband said we are going to the store and buying all kinds of things to fix in the oven.

When we were in France, I could have lived on bread and butter. The bread isn't the same here. I think it is the flour. The French baker in a little shop near our old place imports his own flour as he can't get the results he wants with local flour.

Sounds good. I like French toast made from French bread and also Swiss cheese fondue.

I assume people are still baking lots of bread at home even as the pandemic starts to wind down, as I notice every time I'm at the grocery store that the yeast is always sold out.
I have not noticed any freshly baked bread shortages at my local store, although I don't always peruse that section of the bakery. But it looks like they always have plenty available.
