Is there anything quite so lovely as the waft of yeast bread filling your nose and then your soul? It seems to have so much unspeakable meaning. Home and Wellness and Love and Joy and all of it in a swirling of delight.
Sadly, it’s not my bread that is baking right now. One of my neighbors has taken to baking. I’m just pleased to have had the gift of the smell.
I’m quite excited now for the flour I ordered from Janie’s Mill to arrive so I can bake some for myself. I was feeling deeply guilty about buying it. It costs the moon. And considering the unstable state of my job, I shouldn’t have done it. But there isn’t a bag of flour anywhere in the Grocery. And I am supporting Celi from Kitchens Garden and supporting a small business by doing it. And I love bread. And it’s excellent flour that didn’t strip the land of all it’s goodness. And those are my reasons. So.
I will try to remember to take some pictures and post them for you all when I get the flour and bake my bread.
EEEEEEK. My flour arrived just now. I’m soooo pleased.
It's a Thought 
I find baking very soothing.

I’m not sure if the act is all that soothing to me. But I get tremendous satisfaction from making bread. It feels self sufficient.

You’re going to enjoy this! I love making bread. We stopped buying the commercial stuff, oh, must be 3 years ago.

I thought I would do that about 2 years ago, but my stillness didn’t agree. But now I have no choice. No bread at the grocery.

There is just nothing as homey and comforting as the smell of bread baking.

I think if I had to choose the the best smell in the world, it would probably be bread baking.

The problem with bread baking and the smell is that it makes you so hungry for it, it is hard to wait for it to cool down. Great post.

You are soooooo right. But if you have a couple of people and some butter you can cut and eat warm bread before it ever gets a chance to dry out. 😄
