]]> It occurred to me today that the expression ‘breaking bread’ may have stemmed from the fact that in the olden days (before white bread), the loaves were dense. Maybe their bread knives failed like mine and people had to literally tear a piece off the loaf. I visualize the bread being passed along a table in a room painted SALON DRAB (Farrow and Ball).

Yes, ‘breaking bread’ is a play on ‘breaking bad’.

I think it is usually an expression related to eating, and I have certainly enjoyed many shared tables of stimulating conversation and yummy food. The loaf above is from Lost Bread and I had it with this Big Spoon spread called chai spice.

On Community and Breaking Bread

Breaking bread with others has connotations of community. Community is my topic in this installment of #LiveLocal. This week I met a few new neighbors and we introduced two fellows (pilots) to each other who have crossed paths but never met. It felt fortuitous. And, it symbolizes what my husband has wanted for a long time – a neighborhood, community and roots.

I also met some neighbors from a few streets over. We were chatting about issues pertaining to a developer. Again, community. Getting together from across fences has a very powerful vibe. Especially when you share a concern like basement flooding. Half our block got water this week. Bye rug, you will be missed but not replaced.

On that note, I walked into a store in Old City (Parisa) just for fun and ended up meeting the lovely owner and taking a photo which is perfect for an upcoming article for my client, Homes.com. This after a trip to Moko Beauty where I met the talented Monique. It seemed like my day was replete with exchanges between people in the community. A day of breaking bread.

Thanks for reading
