Happy Thursday Speakies:
Well another Thursday is upon us and on this day, we celebrate “TAKE A HIKE DAY” and “REMEMBRANCE DAY.” Remembrance Day is celebrated in various countries in regards to World War I and the fallen soldiers; it is also referred to as “Poppy Day.” Take a Hike is in regards to exercise, walking, hiking, and all that good stuff to make you stronger. To me I’d rather use it as telling someone to take a hike bud. So go around all day today and tell everybody take a hike.
Today in foodville is celebrated, “HOMEMADE BREAD DAY.” I remember the days of homemade bread, my Mother and Grandmother baking bread several times a year mostly over holidays. I can still smell the bread baking, plain bobkas and raisin bread turning a golden brown in the oven and then coming out to rest and cooling on the kitchen table. I would be waiting there for either Mom or Granny to come with a knife and cut me a nice piece of bread, spread some butter on it and for me to chomp down and enjoy. I think every nationality has their favorite breads to bake for the Polish it was what we call bobkas or regular loaves either plain or with raisins. So no matter what nationality you are have some bread today and enjoy the memories.
Have a great day and evening Guys and Dolls.

Allow me to suggest a reading of Flanders Fields and Rudyard Kippling's "Tommy", in the spirit of remembering the fallen.
I can still see Babcia in the kitchen with a huge round rye or babka. She would clutch it to her bosom to slice it and we would all cringe since the knives were like razors.
True heaven? Waking up at 4 in the morning in the summer. My bedroom overlooked the back of Servus Bakery and the smell of the baking bread was a bit of heaven. Guess who was waiting for them to open? Mister Chebra would say "too hot to slice" and that was fine by me!
Skip .... thanks Joe :)
