UPDATE: I had to take down the Bread video because it was doing something wanky to the site. You can see it here.
This kind of Bread I can do without. (Although I admit that I knew all the words and songs on that album. We just weren’t that cool in the 70s.) One week down with no bread. It’s a cruel, cruel world. First up, I get this month’s Esquire, thumb it open, and guess what’s staring me in the face? The Best Sandwiches in America. Drool. Second, at Gardenia they brought a basket of fresh-baked breads, including a cinnamon-chocolate muffin. Drool. And in a twist of bread denial that’s more Medieval than a blowtorch and a pair of pliers, Sheryl made chicken-and-biscuits last night. Drool like a St. Bernard in August.
I had the salad.
Score after one week: Frank 1, Bread 0.

Frank,
I am laughing now, but next week, Whatshisname and I are starting South Beach so bread will just be a happy memory (at least for the immediate future). But this week, all bets are off, and all foods are fair game.
The last time I went carb free I dropped so much weight I could not believe it.
Next week, I will be feeling your pain!

Pax, I’m with you and Whatshisname, brother. A week is the longest I’ve ever gone without bread…a week, and it was just this last week.
Good luck with South Beach. I did that before and 40 lbs went away like nothin. If I hadn’t eaten my way through a 4-month client project away from home, it’d still work. I’m going to see what these 6 weeks bring…then we’ll see.

I feel your “pain”– a pun in French for the unwashed massed who read this blog.
Frank,Pax, try being wheat free forever as am I–except when I cheat. It sucks big time. Frank at least you can choose pasta. Admittedly after a long period of total gluten abstenance I went to alternative grains. However, trust me, nothing beats wheat.
A better video would be the scene from Woody’s Love and Death when he says the word wheat several times. One of my favorite comedies of all time btw.

Good for you for sticking it out for a week! a whole week! I’m definitely impressed.

i was getting worried that a pastrami on rye (with spicy mustard!) wasn’t gonna be on the list, but they did right with Katz’s. that heaping pile of heaven is the best sandwich on earth and worth every expensive penny.

Wow! That is awesome, Frank! You are my hero (and not the sandwich!)
I usually eat multi-grains and had noticed a great change in my digestive health. I would love to be bread free for a few weeks.
I am trying to et more fruits and veggies. Stop in at Trader Joe’s and get some of their strawberries! They are awesome!

Heading into Week 2. Thanks for the cheers, folks. Pinky Bear, I’m gonna try the strawberries….more fruit and veggies. But, Albert, that sandwich at Katz’s is scrumptious. Might have one of those some day….but not for a while.
