baking bread


I felt close to my Mema this morning as I baked her famous whole wheat bread. I even used her old tin, two-cup measure to measure out the wheat flour. We'll be eating it tonight with homemade chicken noodle soup. I love having something useful of hers in my everyday chores to remind me of her.

Thank you Celeste for keeping her tradition alive. I will always think of her when I see homemade whole wheat bread.

I made her bread too and even sent CBR the recipe so he can follow suit. We ate the fresh bread with Mema's cream of broccoli soup. Felt her real close by. I need to get your chicken noodle soup recipe.

I loved this post. I have a spoon jar from my grandmother in my kitchen, and having a functional object of hers reminds me of her every day.
