Bread, Bread, and Bread

There is no better way to spend a day than enjoying the aroma of bread. It is so obvious that Viola loves to make bread and she is so creative in the type of breads she makes. She is so proud when she tells you that her bread is organic and dairy free. There are sacks of all types of flours and grains and nuts and sugar on the floor of the lab (she calls her bakery a lab).

While making bread today, Viola was telling me how bread is like a person. A loaf of bread starts from a microorganism of yeast. To grow it must have nourishment (flour and water), it must be treated gently and with loving care, it needs to breath, and needs warmth to grow. Without all this you do not get a beautiful loaf of bread.

For those that were waiting to hear if I was successful starting my fire, I was!! Tomorrow is another day and I hope that I will be able to do it again, since Viola will not be there to help.

It rained most of the day, so thanks to my family I spent the afternoon on skype. It does get rather lonely in the afternoons, when it is raining outside. Many times there are multiple WWOOFers so you have company, but at Le Lapole there is only ME.

Tomorrow is more bread!

Ciao for now!
