Le Weekly #83 – Fresh Bread 🥖

Jun 09, 2025

Take a deep breath, read slowly, pause to think after each section, and enjoy.

“Things that matter take time, and things that take time, matter.” – Clare Jeffrey.

fresh (adjective) of the wind, cool and fairly strong.

Last week, a message popped up in my old apartment block’s WhatsApp group:

“Does anyone want the other half of a fresh sourdough loaf? Best enjoyed today.”

It was from the esteemed Clare Jeffrey, my *old neighbour.

Knowing she wouldn’t eat all the sourdough herself, she gave away the rest while it was at its best.

Instead of letting the bread go stale, she chose to share.

Shoutout Clare.

*as in previous

Last week, I visited the esteemed Clare Jeffrey to pick up some fresh sourdough bread.

It was a cold, dark, and rainy evening, and it had been a long day.

Clearly, Clare could see this, so she offered me a glass of red wine and two frankfurter sausages with jalapeño chutney.

While catching up, I ate the sausages slowly, adding a little chutney with each bite.

Unfortunately, due to my Sauce Mismanagement, I finished the jalapeño chutney with sausage to spare.

“Oh no,” Clare said, looking at my plate. “Now you have to get more sauce.”

“No, all good,” I said. “It just means I get to taste the sausage itself.”

“Neigh?” – Philosophical Horse.

Are you tasting the sausage itself, or just the sauce you added?

Have a powerful Monday, everyone.
