Whole Wheat Goodness

Are we bread snobs

or

is it just that good?

The best way to describe the bread here is that it turns to dust.....just like everything else.

You can't even finish your sandwich with out it completely falling apart. The taste is not impressive either. I've tried baking my own....although it is tasty it is also way too heavy to eat as sandwich bread.

The only alternative for us is to leave the country.

We drive 2 hours to the border and hope, hope, hope that we can get a cross the causeway in about an hour.

Even when traffic is light on the causeway to Bahrain it can be deceptive. Once you arrive at the artificial island mid way you enter the ques of chaos. It is very cut throat as you pass through the three check points.

On the other side is a liberal Arab land. Yes they prefer that you dress conservatively but you don't have to wear an abaya. Shops remain open during prayer, grocery stores have a designated, curtained off room, for all things PORK, and if you happen to drink alcohol that is served there too. The pork room reminds me of the back room at video stores... it is the forbidden room.

All we want is this...a freezer full of decent bread and a day in a place that feels more like the real world.
