Toothsome coriander bread
24 – International I Hate Coriander Day: Do you love or hate coriander?
I love it. I believe that it tastes like soap to those with a certain gene, like brussels sprouts taste so horrible to me that I'm glad I don't live in the UK around Christmas. I do wonder though, are there Thais and other Asians with the soapy-coriander gene? That would make life pretty miserable for them.
25 – Real Bread Week: Real bread refers to any type of bread that has been made without the use of processing aids or any other additives and includes any type of additive-free bread (e.g. pita, paratha, tortilla, oatcakes, roti, bagels, etc.).
I love all of those!
Do you, or have you ever, made bread?
Yes, a wholemeal sunflower one, still the same recipe I used at uni
Do you use a bread maker?
Nope, it's a wonderful knead-free recipe: activate yeast and sugar in warm water for 20 minutes, add it to the rest of the ingredients, stir like a cake (I use a wooden spoon), let rise in a warm place till it's the right height, then bake. There's a fair bit of elapsed time, but not a lot of mine.
If you buy rather than make bread, do you look for bread that at least claims to be additive-free, made from organic flour, etc.?
I buy sourdough from a local German bakery that uses organic ingredients. Is that real bread if it uses yeast?
28 – Tooth Fairy Day: Did the tooth fairy visit you whenever one of your baby teeth fell out?
She did! We didn't have Santa | Father Christmas in our family, but we did have the tooth fairy. I believed in her too - one of my few gullible moments - and wondered what she did with all those baby teeth she bought. I imagined she built little pearly houses with them.
Tarrant icon because teeth.

I have never made bread though husband has given it a whirl, with varying degrees of success. I prefer bread that has taste - not plastic white bread but am not too fussed if it has been "processed".
I don't remember believing in the tooth fairy. Thanks to a kids cartoon my daughter believed in the tooth mouse. Instead of money she expected a little present. That certainly caused us to exercise ingenuity!

I hate that white bread in some bought sandwiches that squishes into paste and sticks to the roof of my mouth. If it's better than that crap, I'll happily eat it; I do like to buy the good stuff for home though.
The tooth mouse! I love it!

I've never made bread but I try and buy real bread.
I believed in the Tooth Fairy when I was young since there was money involved. :D
