This is such a beautiful post. Thank you for doing it. (not the post, but cooking at the shelter)

I too testify when called on--it is only in commonality that abused women find the strength to act.

Goddess, cover us with Your wings;
In that good place let us find,
The peace that safety brings;
The strength of the single mind.

Let it be so.

Hi Barbara,
Thanks for the info on why crusts split (on The Impetuous Epicure). The numbers on my oven knob are rubbed off, so the only way I gauge temperature is by using a thermometer. I think I just don’t let the bread rise enough–I get impatient.

Thank you, Judith. That is a lovely prayer.

You are welcome, Jessica. I can't do much to help you gain patience in letting dough rise enough, except to say, it is rewarded in the result of fantastic bread.

Good luck with your further baking adventures.

Beautiful post Barbara. You’re an amazing woman for giving out so much of yourself to people who truly needs it. I admire you for that.
