Joy's Notes

  • An early American bread invented (according to legend) by a fisherman, who's lazy wife forced him to do his own baking. He named the bread after his wife, "Anna, damn her ..."
  • I've also heard it was indelicate praise for a talented wife, "Anna, damn her, sure makes fine bread."
