That is beautiful ~•

Existential bread
I’m going through the most difficult time in a long time. Making bread, eating buttered toast, coffee, running/walking/lifting weights are the only thing keeping me sane.
Hey there, making bread is awesome; I love it almost as much as getting outside on my mountain bike, skis or otherwise with loved ones. Let’s not, however, pretend it’s an alternative to mental health treatment by a qualified and registered therapist.
Getting a loaf to look that good may drive me to therapy.
Gorgeous crust and color!
