Pumped On Pump Bread

I'm sure you have had the experience something that has been right under your nose for your entire life but somehow you never noticed it until now. Well, that happened to me with pumpernickel bread. I'm sure that I must have eaten it before but now I'm really wild about it. I LOVE PUMPERNICKEL. It makes sandwiches taste absolutely delicious.

My epiphany came a year ago. Libby and I were in Cocoa, Florida. We tied up to the public wall and walked up to the village in search of a place to buy milk and bread. The area is filled with restaurants and tourist shops, but we couldn't find a store for us. We stopped in a deli to ask where to go. The lady there said that there was no place within walking distance, but that she would sell us a loaf of the deli's pumpernickel bread. That did it. It was sooooooooo good.

By the way, the computer screen at the supermarket checkout counter calls it Pump Bread. I think that's cute.
