I have been baking bread a lot lately. A few loaves a week. I am struggling to keep it fresh long enough to eat all that I bake, which is a bummer. I am thinking of buying or building a bread box, as I hear that can extend the life of an uncut loaf well. We'll see. All that said, the point of me writing was not to talk about that, but to share a quote that I came accross and very much liked (that very loosely relates to bread): > “History celebrates the battlefields whereon we meet our > death, but scorns to speak of the plowed fields whereby we > thrive. It knows the names of the king’s bastards but cannot > tell us the origin of wheat. This is the way of human folly.” > > - Jean-Henri Fabre I really like that quote and just wanted to share it on the off chance that someone else would like it (and also to have tucked away for myself in a place I can find it).
