Wow, Lovely Conference

Wow, lovely conference. All sisters of the conference report that they've made it home safely, and are in the process of recovery. Now we have the memories, like the odor of fresh bread, that wafts us back to the experience.

Fresh bread was the first order of business. We met in Home Groups and lovingly formed the loaves as we got to know each other. We planned to have the bread at Friday night's Home Group session, but those of us still hanging around the kitchen got a sample as it came from the ovens. Sorry if you missed it. It was still really good the next evening.

Each loaf included lots of 'provenance' -- ingredients with personal history -- for us. Herbs, flavors, blue corn meal, stone ground flour. The provenance also included fresh-churned butter, jams, honeys and other tasty treats that remind us of our homes and history. That part waited for Friday night.
