This wasn’t supposed to be a rye loaf, but it just happened because when I walked into IRMA (like a mini, Danish Whole Foods), I was mesmerized by how pretty everything was designed. The cereal boxes and flours were like impeccable, everything was just SO beautiful. I couldn’t stop staring. When I finally got it together and it was time to buy flour, I was like a little scared at all the flour options, and especially scared because they weren’t in English. I reached for my Google Translate app but I didn’t have any service in the damn market so I took a gamble. I went for a big bag, figuring it was most likely all-purpose. The rest of the grocery shopping was interesting. Baking powder is “bagepulver“. I sorta figured it out. My milk purchased was assisted by an older woman who thought it was kinda funny that I was almost buying kefir. LAWD. When I got home and started putting all the labels in google translate, I was like OH I BOUGHT RYE FLOUR OK. But it turned out great because Danes make everything with rye flour so it was meant to be. It was the most perfect …
