making bread

During COVID-19, Holly has been encouraging me to begin learning to make a few things in the kitchen. This morning she taught me to make homemade bread!

I haven’t ever devoted much time to learning my way around a kitchen, and my culinary skills are nearly non-existent, but she has gracefully enticed me to join her and begin to understand the basics. Together, we’ve made three items now, and each time we collaborate my interest continues to grow.

It’s especially nice to have such a beautiful teacher, and I’m enjoying spending time with her in a new way!
