From the day book
Evening
The way home, supper, and putting the day away.
Letting the loaf cool before supper
The hardest step in the whole recipe is the last one: an hour on the counter, uncut, while the kitchen smells of it.
Candles on, list away
The last ritual of the day: lights down, candles on the window table, and the morning’s list folded into the back of the book.
