Freezing reduced stock is a genius idea, I will do that, I do cook with veg Knorr stock (w/o the msg, not too bad) but do not really like the taste of it. The real deal is so much better. Thanks!

What is Zopf? It sounds tasty. Longbyt, do you bake in your oven or do you have special bread maker? Do you sprinkle it with some seeds? Where does one buy the poppy, linen, sesame, sunflower and pumkin seeds? I would like to learn how to bake in normal oven, mom does it really well but she uses a bread dough mix (wholewheat) she buys back home. Maybe I just should import that...We have no Landi here, or at least I have not seen it around.

I completely understand your anti candy ways, I am going through it right now, trying to minimize my kid's cavities while not killing my kid's appetite, I bake a lot of cakes, etc since her weight is a weight of a 1yr younger kid (she is 2,5). I need to bake bread, rolls and buns instead. I love baking...Makes a home smell like real home.
