Food Diary: Starch




Give us this day our daily bread.
- Matthew 6:11, King James Bible

Love it or hate it, soft fresh bread from the oven holds an inner secret of moist first-love. Nothing represents the frailty and plainness of living when one breaks break. The joy of tasting its dough beneath a crusty shell. The aroma of 3-day old bread being reinvented, resurrected by the kitchen's old toaster. As we all gather tonight, Chinese and all who celebrate the reunion of our dearest and furthest, I wish you - live well, love well, and eat well!
