It used to be that women in the home made bread nearly every day. After 1928, with the invention of sliced bread, all that started to change.
But the fact of the matter is that homemade bread is wonderful. It smells great, tastes great, and is affordable and nutritious. Homemade bread also creates memories. There is just something about homemade bread. After all, it is probably the only food that is eaten regularly in nearly every civilization worldwide. That can’t be a coincidence.

Today is the anniversary of John Montagu’s birthday. John Montagu was an 18th-century English nobleman, and the fourth Earl of Sandwich. It was he who invented what we refer to as a sandwich during a 24-hour gambling bender when he was seeking something to eat with one hand. He requested sliced meat between two pieces of bread. Others began ordering “the same as Sandwich”, and that is how it got its name. (Or so the story goes.)
So, today we celebrate National Sandwich Day with a few great recipes:
