"To live long, live slowly."
- Cicero
Have you ever heard of the slow food movement? This quote made me think of that and of bread. My current favorite bread takes about 22 hours to make. When I eat it, I enjoy it even more because of the anticipation that leads up to the first crusty bite. Making it feels like an accomplishment. It means something. It requires skill and time and patience. In our fast-paced society, all those things are in short supply. How refreshing it is for me to do something few others care to do or want to do. I think I may start documenting some of my slow efforts. I'll take pictures the next time I make bread...
