Words by Colin James SturdevantAs a child, nothing was more magical than visiting my grandparent’s farm in Blue, Texas, in December. We’d turn off the highway onto a rocky, pumpkin-orange road striated with streaks of red and beige. Cows would be hoofing along a creek. At night, we would build a bonfire in a grassy field where berries grew in the summer. Fireworks would climb the night air, and we’d roast hot dogs and make s’mores. My grandfather was a Renaissance man.

These simple elements plus ancient techniques have been creating something that’s been served at extravagant feasts and on humble tables for centuries — something that we often take for granted despite its majestic qualities. It sustains us in good times and bad times. It’s a spiritual symbol that represents life. It, if you haven’t guessed yet, is bread.

Sometimes, it’s a bad relationship, a rocky road in my diet. I’m either all in or all out. It was there for me in the absence of what I can only assume is love. It had my back when I was laid off from my first job after college. It helps me keep cool in the summer.
