There will be a festival today in Tucson, AZ, to celebrate local food: Viva La Local Food Festival. My favorite farmers market venders will be there! Local restaurants, breweries, and wineries will be serving their awesome food & drinks as well.

Buttermilk Bread

Anyone who grew up in Japan had to eat thick, fluffy sliced white bread at least once. It is great for simple toast, French toast, or anything thick toast is suitable. The best thing about this type of bread in Japan is that you don't have to go to a special bakery; it is available at supermarkets and convenience stores. Now I prefer crusty bread, but I do miss the soft sliced bread I used to eat as a child. Although it is not the same, homemade buttermilk loaves have been satisfying enough to fight the craving.

Buttermilk has become a staple in my kitchen. I love cooking and baking with buttermilk. It is also a good way to use leftover buttermilk. Click "Read more" for the recipe.
