B is for Bread

I love making bread.

I was once that pandemic cliche who filled my at-home time with video workouts, rock painting, and bread baking, but as all of those other pursuits have dropped away, bread remains. It is a miracle to me that flour, water, and time are all that I, or anyone else, need to make real bread. I literally give thanks for every loaf that emerges from my oven, holding its warmth in my hands and breathing in its scent of toasted grain and leavening.

Ben Franklin is famously credited with the sentiment that beer is proof that God loves us, but bread is the staff of life for a reason. 

Life Lesson: Find a lovely melody that everyone can sing. ~Bread (of course) "Aubrey"
