Hi Chris,
Hope you can find a source of flour. Good bread can be addicting.
Forty years ago, during my working days, I started each day with a
breakfast that included "salt rising bread", toasted, with margarine and
a variety of preserves. The bread was baked by a Swiss bakery in a
settlement that ended up in the Tennessee mountains about 150 years
ago. Since that family operation disappeared, the only source of which
I am aware is to order it on-line from a bakery in Pennsylvania. I
really miss it.

The bread looks lovely, Nathan, the pain au chocolat rather naughty.
We are about to run out of flour and might have to buy bread, the crappy stuff that people
sell in shops (I know some of it’s OK). I am now almost addicted to my wife’s
sourdough so it will be rather unpleasant to change to commercial stuff.

In these times of confinement, one gets to appreciate life’s small pleasures.
This morning I walked to the French bakery. The pleasure is three-fold: the walk
itself, about 800 meters each way; the pleasant people in the bakery and the
opportunity to practice my French; and the tasty products I buy there. Three images:
The queue outside the bakery:

Today was a good day; I managed to drive to the center of Alicante to visit the
Eastern European grocery to buy Polish goodies, without getting fined or
arrested along the way.
