Common Hours

Chapter III

Evening

16:00 – 22:00

Supper, candles, and putting the day away.

Letting the loaf cool before supper

The hardest step in the whole recipe is the last one: an hour on the counter, uncut, while the kitchen smells of it.

Candles on, list away

The last ritual of the day: lights down, candles on the window table, and the morning’s list folded into the back of the book.
