What happened to the sides/top/bottom... I hope you brought those home
for a cook's treat, not tossed, those crusty parts are the best parts
of any loaf, the middle is fit for feeding hogs and TIADers.

With a fresh crusty loaf we'd never do that, it'd be sliced with the
crust ON for great sandwiches. I'd feel ill knowing you tossed the
crusts in the trash, I'd feel better if you fed those crusts to
critters. I'll often pull out the doughy middles for feeding the
birds.

I didn't know of the Swedish background. My mother always made
something similar for parties.
We'd go to the bakery and ask for an unsliced loaf of bread and ask
them to cut the sides and bottom/top off and slice the bread
horizontally.
She would fill the different layers with ham salad, egg salad, some
sort of vegetable filling (drained chopped cucumber or a salad mix)
Topping was cream cheese as per Steve. Decorate as you wish. Always
very popular with the ladies.

Yep, Janet, ribbon loaf. I enjoyed it at a
Department store called Bullocks that had
a TeaRoom. I have always meant to make
one after the store closed its doors, and maybe
I will one day.

Every time I see Flay's name on the food channel I quickly switch back
to Fox News or Naked and Afraid. Flay is no kind of cook... should be
featured as Bobby Fake. Would be a lot better if naked and afraid
were truly naked, some of those gals are hot, they got great ass but
would be best if they didn't blur out their bosoms... it's a tease if
I can't see their nipples. D cups are meaningless if they have M&M
nipples.

You're entitled to your opinion no matter how dead wrong you are ...
<grin> we do like ours and use it often . I've been cutting medium size
spuds in half lengthwise then slicing into 1/4" thick slices . Toss in a
gallon zip-lock with a couple or 3 tablespoons of oil and some
season-all then into the AF on high temp for 25 minutes or so . Shake
'em up about halfway thru cooking so they brown more evenly .

Yes, I used to think that being correct was important in having an opinion but this group has made me see the light - the truth is not really necessary in having an opinion. OTOH, I'll try your recipe/method. I don't have any season-all but I'll come up with something.

That's what Ken wants to hear! Maybe he'll read your reply. Um, but
you did toss the taters in oil. I think he's expecting no oil to be
used at all because it's called an 'air fryer'.

I wonder how it would do with steamed shrimp. That with plenty of hot sauce or Old Bay seasoning isn't bad. Especially, with fries.

John Kuthe proclaims:
 
Many places were dirt cheap in the early 1960's like the Haight Ashbury in SF, when the Hippies/Diggers moved in.

Kuthe was born in 1960 so he certainly wasn't looking for an apartment
in Haight Ashbury in SF. He's a hippy wanna-be in 2020, trying to
pretend his renters are his best friends.

I should add, I had a friend who was an actual "hippy" during the Haight
Ashbury period in San Francisco. Scott McKenzie. That was the name of
his only hit song, 'San Francisco':
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vBia7UbI8I
 
We corresponded via email in the last few years of his life. He suffered
from agorophobia and really didn't want to make public appearances. He
was first featured with the Mama's and the Papa's (with Michelle
Phillips, John Phillips, Mama Cass). John and Michelle's daughter,
McKenzie Phillips, was named after Scott McKenzie.
 
Kuthe wants to pretend he's a "hippy" but he was just a kid then. 1967
or 68. I know he wasn't old enough to be tuned into the Haight Ashbury
scene. Neither was I, and I was living in Southern California at the
time. Heh.

But Jill, some people really have friends, you know.

Um, no, I'm not going to ask the doctor for a prescription. I simply
avoid eating foods that give me indigestion. That's easy enough to do
without getting a prescription or taking OTC medication. It's not as if
my life depends on having pepperoni on a pizza or pasta with tomato sauce.

Noted, I'll give that a shot. I buy my cans of crushed tomatoes from
costco. Do you put the crushed tomatoes into a food processor or
something?

Very educational post. I never cook the sauce for hours, but for maybe
five minutes. From now on I'll just mix everything cold. Great tips!

If a neighbor gives me tomatoes, it goes to salad. What's a cuke?

I never knew that. I haven't used tomato paste in a long time. This
thread is very educational.

Just to be nosey ... with a bowl of wheaties & yogurt a couple of times a week, indigestion should be a rare thing, if ever. Some people are satisfied with just that for the whole day. Dinner mints help with abdominal pain, too.

Maybe the startling revelation should be that it was the white Europeans
who led the fight to abolish slavery. Britain had acted first to
abolish the slave trade, and later to abolish it completely. The natives
on the west coast of Canada maintained slaves for half a century after
it had been abolished in the east.

The taste of olive oil also depends on the country of origin.
