This may be my most trivial post yet, but Mighty Mighty inspired me with the envelope woes.
It is a goal of mine to get people to stop using those annoying, time-consuming twistie ties that come with loaves of bread. Instead of wasting your time twist, twist, twisting, just use a clothes pin! I honestly have no idea how most people use twistie ties and do not go insane. It's so hard to undo them, especially after a few uses. It's so tedious, why do people use these? Seriously, I can't believe the majority of the population does this and never gripes about it.
Clothes pin, y'all, Clothes pins! The quality of your life will improve, I swear it.

Jesse and I have gotten into fights (yes, actually raised voice fights) over those damned things. I say that once about 1/4 of the loaf is gone it works just as well to twist the top of the bag and fold it under the rest of the loaf. He always gets so mad at me for that because he's a die hard twistie user. He's got the thing on there until the very lst dried up, crusty end piece is gone. Maybe clothes pins couldbe the answer for us! Shelly, you may have just saved my marriage!
Heh! I'm a firm believer that you can twist and fold at a certain point too. Jeff does not share this philosophy. Even worse, he insisted the reason the bread get kept stale so quickly was because I was using clothes pins. I really don't know how we're still together after that one, but I finally figured out that the microwave heat was the culprit since I used to keep the bread on top of it. I'm pretty sure I raised my voice back at him with lots of righteous indignation saying how my family had done this for at least 50 years without bread going stale so soon and, if anything, the clothes pins allow less air in than twistie ties.
Blaming the clothes pin? Who the hell is this person and why am I still with him?
I can't think of one time in my entire adult life that I thought screwing around with the twistie thing seemed a good way to spend time. I am a spin the bag and fold it under kinda girl ALL THE WAY. Clothes pins are a good alternative though and the next time D gets his nuts in a knot over the spin/fold (and yes, if I use the bread first, I throw away the twistie because I am pure evil), I will recommend clothes pins.
And maybe even buy some so he can give it a shot, hee.
Okay, so I'm detecting a trend here, but Jeff doesn't believe in the twist and fold method either. He even tries to take issue with the clothes pin! That's where I draw the line.
I'm mystified that the men in our lives are die-hard twistie users while we are twist and fold/clothes pin users.
I throw out the bread once it's like, three seconds old. I know this is wasteful and decadent. I don't care. I'm not eating old bread.
However, Bill will eat bread from the Eisenhower administration, if he can get it. This may be why we are having problems.
Really though, I'm a twist and fold girl too. I can't be bothered with a clothespin.
Who would have ever suspected that the number one cause of relationship problems is really bread bag twistie ties? Forget moneys, sex, job stress. It all comes down to your views on bread freshness managment.
