It's ironic that I've been thinking a lot lately about the bread box we had in our kitchen during my growing up years. It always had something in it...bread and beyond! So your writing today took me back to that cozy kitchen and the family bread box. I love the one you now have...alas, I just don't have counter space for one. But I do honor bread and love to break it with dear ones! ❤️

I love this essay, both for its insight and its nostalgia. You are one of the best parts of the internet. ❤️

I love this so much. We have a bread basket and I love it (though I envy the crumb control of your bread box!) because I can’t bear to put bread away in the pantry. It is a counter-worthy food group for sure!

This is an older thread, but I just became a subscriber today so I have thoughts to add! Julia, I would love to buy the corner bread box thing bc its so cute, but I've heard from some people that bread lasts longer in the fridge than on the counter. We keep a variety of sliced bread in our fridge (regular supermarket bread for my husband and sometimes fancy bakery sourdough for me.) We don't always go through it super fast. Do you have thoughts about refrigerated vs. non-refrigerated bread?
