i bake bread before sunrise and melktert every friday. one of those i'd do for free.
baker at a neighbourhood bakery in johannesburg, in by four. afternoons i'm in the garden with tomatoes in old paint tins and a jacaranda dropping purple on everything.

my ouma's recipe card, coffee ring and all. the ring is half the reason.
I'm secretly
not a morning person at all. the bread hasn't figured that out yet.
You'll know I like you when
i bake you anything other than melktert. that's a bigger deal than it sounds.
forty loaves on the shelves by seven, and thandi is still singing along to the radio.
