In Paris today millions of pounds of bread are sold daily, made during the previous night by those strange, half-naked beings one glimpses through cellar windows, whose wild-seeming cries floating out of those depths always makes a painful impression.

The Scarlet Pumpernickle   When we started getting calls this week about a certain type of rye bread mentioned by Dr. Oz, my first thought was why would Muppeteer Frank Oz be calling us about bread?   Hey, it’s not that outlandish. With all his accomplishments, I’m surprised some university somewhere hasn’t made him an […]
