Omar speaks in the third personbut I’m not so good at itI do a lot of things that are ultimately meaningless but make me feel good. One of these things is getting good bread instead of the supermarket stuff. This means getting bread from bakeries and cafes near us instead of the Dempsters and Villagio. However, due to the convergence of a series of procrastinations I found that we were at home this week with no bread available.
