…a good bread with a firm crust
It’s one thing to give up your usual bread on vacation and quite another to survive for decades abroad without crusty bread.
For our missionaries from German-speaking countries, giving up rye, farmhouse and crusty bread is a real sacrifice.
As a baker’s boy over 50 years ago, I myself secretly picked small pieces out of the ends of the bread in the bakery.
Fortunately, nobody noticed these inconspicuous defects.
That’s how I grew up and became strong.
Recently, Lena Zeier took pity on me and baked a crusty loaf for me.
I put it on a wooden board at home and took a close look at the delicious gift.
I fixed both eyes on the delicious piece.
And poof, suddenly a third was gone.
That’s the way to go.
