Description
The Bread Lesson My dad has watermelon-size biceps, a neck like an inner tube, and enormous, muscular hands that make him seem like he’s always wearing baseball mitts. He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who would bake great bread, but he is and he does. Every Saturday he puts on his chef’s apron, rolls up his sleeves, breaks out a bag of flour, and produces two loaves of homemade bread. When he’s done, the whole house smells delicious, and I can’t wait for a hot slice smothered with yellow, melting butter. The rest of the week, Dad is a car mechanic, which involves lots of heavy lifting, tightening, unscrewing, shoving, shaking, yanking, and banging. People tend to think of their cars as metallic members of the family, so there’s lots of pressure on Dad to make sure pumps pump, steering steers, and brakes brake. The shop where Dad works is understaffed, so he’s under a lot of stress. Sometimes I worry he’s going to overheat and blow a gasket or something, like some old car. I think Dad began baking bread to help him relax. I see him in the kitchen, working on a spongy hunk of dough—punching and pounding it into submission. I’ve been feeling kind of stressed out myself since I found out I didn’t qualify for the swim team. Now I’ll have to wait a whole year to try out again; that might as well be a million years. Plus, I’m taking some tough classes this year, and my best friend moved away.
