For your own safety, do not eat any sandwiches I may offer you.

WHY DOES MY BREAD ALWAYS GET MOULDY?

I normally try to freeze it before it gets that bad, but still. I have wasted an awful lot of money on bread that I didn't get to eat before it turned WHITE AND GREEN AND FURRY.

HOW CAN I HAVE A LATE NIGHT TOAST IF THERE IS ALWAYS MOULD ON THE FREAKING BREAD?

Aw, nuts to it, I'm gonna eat saos and watch my new (cheapest price I've found yet - yay for closing down sales!) Gilmore Girls DVDs.

Saos are more awesome than bread anyway. So nyer!

What bread do you buy? Also, how do you store it pre-mouldering? How long does it last stored this way before the moulding starts?

Um, well, lately wholemeal, but normally just plain old white bread. It normally grows mould after just a few days, and I store it on the cupboardtop... is that wrong? I had put it down to the extra moisture in the air here, but now I'm wondering if we have a breadbox at home for a reason.

Oh, I sort of meant what brand do you buy, and what size? Because I work at Baker's delight (where we do a full size loaf and half loaves) and I know that our bread only lasts for a day, officially, and after that it's your own risk. That's just because we don't put any sort of preservatives in it, though. If you're buying something of a "lower grade" (which you probably are because our shit's expensive and students, by definition, cannot afford our overpricing), I'm probably not the best person to ask because I think everything but our bread is gross. Except Helga's... that stuff is goo-ood. And the stuff from our local korean? bakery; also top notch. But I digress... what I meant to get to was that if your bread only officially lasts for one day, you should be putting it in the fridge or freezer THAT NIGHT. You can always have cold bread from the fridge as a midnight snack (hell, I've already had two slices of wholemeal country grain with barbeque sauce tonight!), and you can always toast both frozen and refrigerated bread. Our bread lasts for a week in the fridge, and for between one and three months in the freezer, so that's all smooth sailling for you.

Also, make sure you always get all the air out of the bag you're putting your bread in - air is your bread's enemy.

Freeeeeeze that loaf. Then you can toast it and it will be mould free :)

Freeeze it... with the mould on? Does that work?

Waah, being in charge of a house is hard. :(

No no, freeze it before the mould begins. Prevention is better than cure.
