Beautiful Bread


Bread


Wheat is a stream of gold

a living river

a golden, whispering,

dusty stream

how many sacks of flour?

how many loaves of bread?

in what far-off lands?

Up it thrusts

boldly piercing the hard earth

to unfold as a field

over the prairie province.

(from "A Cup of Sky)


I know precious little of presentation. Ah, but I do know how to savor the feel, the aroma, the taste of ffreshly baked whole wheat bread.

Thanks, Cindy. I think I'll make it for the book club next week.
BTW, the comment I deleted was from a spammer, campaigning for an election in a nearby city.

Wow Mom, That looks good and tasty too. I would expect to see bread like that in a high end bakery on the swanky side of town. You used to add blue food coloring to food to make your meals stand out. Now you are way more skilled!

Love Kimball

Ha, no way! Your little brothers added the food coloring, and you might have helped! ;) Love ya, Kimball D.
