I guess I wasn't too far off about how slowly you have to chew the bread.  It went quickly enough when it was fresh on the dinner table, but my kids reported that at lunch the next day it took them so long to eat their sandwiches that they didn't get to the rest of their food...they didn't seem to mind, though, and just ate their other stuff at home for a snack.

Last night we had plenty of soup leftovers, and so I opted to clean those out rather than cook again.  Plus, today we've got a painter and carpet guys in our house so I had plenty of prep work to do -- hard work, but exciting!
