"Gentlemen, in the little moment that remains to us between the crisis and the catastrophe, we may as well drink a glass of champagne."

DAILY BREAD
I have been putting a lot of thought into bread these days. I spent the last many weeks making it, all day every day. And, now I know that baking bread is like being in an alternate universe, a suspended society. You think with your hands. That is it. When it feels right you move on to the next step. The palms of your hands define the process; they determine everything. Bread making is, of course, a science; but, for me it feels more like art with science chasing after it. It is a true extension of self and I currently cannot think of anything more profound...
