Baking

Right now Amanda is baking zucchini bread. She bakes many good things, and it is a challenge to my desire to take some weight off, because whatever she makes, it's generally a 24-hour supply of it. I already ate one of the vegetarian stuffed peppers today. The steady steam of co-op food creates pressure on us to make things out of the better-than-storebought local produce (and meat) that comes into the house, but the baking is the best part. I can finally learn to love zucchini if it comes bread-shaped. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the philosophical differences between bread and cake. I would feel REALLY irresponsible if it were called zucchini cake.
