1. 1

   I discovered a spice (?) that is now vital to my rye bread. It's called charnuska, and it's described as black caraway. I don't know if it's actually related to caraway, but I do know that I made this recipe last week for a dinner party and my friend Dan, who is from New Jersey and says he loves his Levy's (I understood that reference, which scares me...) said it was the best onion rye he'd had outside of the neighborhood bakery of his youth. Of course, he always was a polite fellow... but it's pretty good rye bread nonetheless...

   (I discovered charnuska in the Penzey's catalog. I think they're at http://www.penzeys.com. Dan says he's going to check the Indian specialty store by his house to see if he can get it there in bulk, but Penzey's isn't exactly overpriced...)
