Hi, Ron! Is that a bread your mom used to make? How do you use it? Do you eat it with a meal?

¡Hola, Ron! ¿Es un pan que hacía tu madre? ¿Cómo usas? ¿Lo comes con una comida?

No, my grandmother was the one who baked bread. We ate it with a meal or without a meal. We ate it anytime.

"Pan candeal" isn't a phrase I was familiar with. My dictionary says it means "white bread". Duh!

It's interesting that your recipe has both metric and English measures, Ron.

No sabía la frase "pan candeal". Mi dictionario dice que significa "pan blanco" [white bread]. ¡Duh! [Qué bobo]

Ron, es interesante que tu receta usa tanto medidas metricas como inglésas.
