Gail, LOL on the dead bread store. I used to hate the day-old store baked goods, which my mother would then freeze, adding yet another layer of old to the taste.

Yummmmmmm. The scene in your book The Lost Recipe for Happiness really brought The Day of the Dead alive and real for me. The connection to the living and the dead is gossamer and real in that book. It is wonderful.

I had to laugh at your title. When I was a kid, one of many, we lived very frugally. We bought our bread from a day old place, almost like an outlet mall for baked goods. My father always called it ‘the dead bread store.’ Evoking memories of our beloved dead. Thank you

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm… I agree with Nicola. And it’s a book worthy of a reread even without the food perk.
