The simple pleasures.....

The bread maker was put to work this morning, and as the residents supervised the task being done, it brought about lovely conversations about the simple joy of bread, memories of mothers kitchens, favourite recipes, who was the cook in their family and how wonderful food is in bringing people together. We then had the very patient 3 hour wait for the bread to be ready. "Is it ready yet?" Finally we were ready to serve, and it coincided with "Fondue Afternoon tea" which interesting took the back seat to the fresh warm multi grain loaf, lathered with butter and strawberry jam. Jean even requested a loaf for her breakfast in the morning. It was delicious. What have we started???
