The intelligence of Crows can be impressive. The one on the right is holding a stale piece of bread. In order to soften it, thus making it easier to eat, the Crow would place it on the watery spigot and then press down several times with its beak. The Crow did this a number of times while the one on the left looked on (Probably hoping to get a share of the bread).
Discovering that our Kroger carries the restaurant brown bread was a treat. Smearing butter on it and toasting it is even better. That smell is so appealing. Lovely that this challenge “forced” me to eat this.

Bread is big in Morocco. A meal is not complete without bread, and it is always fresh and always good. Sure you can eat a tagine with a fork, but the proper way to eat Moroccan stews and many other dishes is to scoop up a bite-sized portion of the meal with a piece of bread.
Moroccan bread (called khobz in Arabic) is shaped into round, flattish loaves which have lots of crust. Exactly what goes into each loaf is a matter of personal preference. White, semolina, wheat, rye, and barley are some of the flours that might be used, while anise and cumin seeds are just two additions that could be added for extra flavor.
Bread is never wasted. If some is dropped, or found on the floor, it is immediately retrieved. In markets you will find tables of stale bread pieces for sale for a few pennies. It would certainly not be thrown away.
Looks excellent on the outside, but I'm still having trouble getting huge, irregular pockets on the inside. Tastes great, though.
I think this is one of the most beautiful loaves I've ever baked, great oven spring. Can't wait to slice it up and slather it with butter.

Has a butter top. Best bread so far, used King Arthur bread flour with a 2 rises both > 24hrs (too lazy to bake in 1 day)
This bread made good sandwiches.
In a little café in Charlevoix, MI. One of those cafés with regulars who stare at anyone not from town who walks in, foolishly hoping to blend in and not appear TOURIST.
Good bread nonetheless.

No, God didn't send these loaves down (I baked them), but the rather heavenly light provided through the window was definitely His provision. These were so fresh out of the oven that they were still crackling. Making bread is kind of like making an image like this - it requires deliberate thought, the right ingredients, and a bit of patience. I hope this image is as tasty for you as the bread was to eat.
