Lin shared this recipe with me the night we left her house in Gerry, New York to head across the Midwest to South Dakota in November. Gary and I were traveling with our newborn son, Mark Gabriel. And as usual, Gary wanted to drive all night to beat a storm. Lin sliced the Prairie Bread and sent us out into the night. It was a long cold night. That bread was so delicious to snack on while we tried to keep each other awake and the baby asleep. That’s a memory where I can see the darkness of the night, hear the stillness of the car, and taste the delicious home-made bread baked on love for us.
