I bought a Boule a few days ago, as in a round loaf of bread.
I am the only bread eater craver in the house, and, as much as I love a slice of good bread, spread liberally with fresh butter and jam, my body isn't quite as joyful about it. I decided that I'd buy the loaf, use what I could and freeze the rest of the loaf so I could enjoy it later.
In my experience removing as much air as possible from the bag of bread you intend to use for freezing increases its freezer life. I tend to forget things in the freezer, and only discover them collaterally when I am searching for some other lost item.
I have one of those fancy-dancy vacuum freezer bag appliances. Ah ha, thought I, if I use that it will take the unwanted air out.

* Betcha didn't know, but Mr. A. I(n)-stein tells me:
"Idgit" is a nonstandard, dialectal spelling and pronunciation of the word idiot, derived from the Irish slang term "eejit" and popularized in American English, particularly in the Southern United States, as a somewhat comical or exasperated term for a foolish person.
