Always an odd number.

I never had any reason to think about slices of bread in a loaf over the many years I was with Grace but the last year has enlightened me to a most annoying fact, there's always an odd number of slices in a loaf. Also if you're alone and divide a loaf in half to freeze for later then both halves will have an odd number, it doesn't seem to matter what stunt you try it always results in an odd slice left over. Since I tend to use the toaster a bit and they always demand an even number it's quite a waste to use it for a single slice.
