The mighty brush, the mighty loaf

Tim has started painting again, in anticipation of a show we have in mind to open in the new year, around, let's say...January 20th. More about that later, though.

It makes me proud and happy to see Tim back at painting. He has a lot of creative energy, which he puts into drawing the cartoon, and gardening, and building things around the house. But watching him work through a painting is really magical, inspiring.

No more so though,than this:

We started baking bread again last night, encouraged by Beth's bread this weekend and by the ease of the recipe she used. Not that ease is a deal-breaker, when it comes to bread. I'd go through all sorts of hoops to get that perfect, crusty, chewy, tasty loaf.

But no need, apparently. This loaf was so...magical...that we started another one right away, for tonight (it takes 18 hours to rise). And so on, and so on.

A loaf a day. That's the plan.

Tim's trying to work out some equation for how much each loaf will cost-surely less than a dollar?-but honestly, who cares when it's this good?

All I know, is we're not playing The Man's game anymore, bread-wise.

More tomorrow. Thanks for reading.
