While she was starry-eyed over the resulting juice, I could already taste the bread I was going to make out of her waste (it’s ok to cringe a bit over that comment).
She hesitantly agreed to let me have the colorful slaw-looking mound she’d normally throw away, and I whip up my concoction, a little too excited that I just might be breaking some baking rules. The result is a delightful smelling loaf of this: ———————————>
