French Loaves - Good for 'Ooning' Curry

I'm not much of a bread person. Uh-uh. I do love how pastries smell when I pass by a patisserie, but there's a fine line between baking a pie and eating it. (I don't know what that's supposed to mean, but it sure sounds pseudo-slick when you say it.) And who buys french loaves, anyways? Just how long does it take for one to finish a loaf??
