Water into wine, sure. But bread?

I buttered a slice of homemade bread. It looked normal. It tasted normal. But it smelled like a lovely full-bodied red wine.

There's nothing better than fresh, warm, homemade bread slathered in butter. Except books. But they're not quite as edible, you know?

Yes; I was just thinking yesterday how, although chocolate is amazing, books are better. Far better.

I have to agree, and I love chocolate an awwwwful lot.

[ex-blackswa.livejournal.com]

Me, too. That's what makes the discovery so profound :).

But I decided it like this: if I had to live without either chocolate or books for the rest of my life, I could leave chocolate. But not books.

I prefer to be ecstatically happy with both, and not have to choose at all. Chocolate and books together are a deadly combination. ;D

It's good we haven't had to choose, eh?

a loaf of bread beneath the bough, a jug of wine . . .

hmm!
Would it have been a cabernet smell or maybe burgundy?

I'd say cabernet. It was definitely something I'd like to drink. Just not eat, when I am expecting the smell of bread!

[clothofdreams.livejournal.com]

It's the yeast. :)

[greenhornet.livejournal.com]

hmm, yeasty, I tend to associate that smell with beer . . .

And the recent humidity. =)
