Back. I've checked it frame by frame and I'm pretty sure that it's neither bread nor flour. It's a rectangular shaped cardboard box.

But there is another scene where we see bread (indirectly):
Reunion scene, when Ennis ans Jack come up to say hi to Alma and she's standing there with her purse around her left shoulder, saying howdy to Jack.
We don't see the bread, we see only the wrapping of Wonder Bread, left of Alam's arm.

Above the text box where you write your messages is a row of cowboy smileys. Above them are two rows of icons (for bold, italics, etc.). In the second row (directly the one above the smileys) the second icon from the left is the youtube icon.
Click it, then you get this (without spaces):

Insert the adress of the youtube video between the square brackets and it's done! :)
Looks like this (I added spaces into the square brackets, otherwise you couldn't see the code)

Thanks much! I think I did that but it just appeared as a line of code. I must have done it incorrectly, but now I know!

Ooooooooo, good eyes Bud!
So what exactly do we think the bread is a symbol of? Is it simply a symbol of honesty? Or secrets (in a general sense)? Or is it a more specific symbol having to do with J & E's relationship in particular?

The bread in the closed, opaque box was in the kitchen scene at the lonsesome ranch:
If that is a bag of Wonder bread then maybe it reflects Alma wondering what the heck is going on!
This whole bread thing is very interesting, and new to me. I've missed a lot around here! One question. In the picture up above, what is behind the pot on the right side of the picture? It looks like another loaf of bread to me. It's to the right of the jar of red ...(cherries?)
