"For a bakery like ours, it meant more than handing out the bread, receiving payment, and giving change. It also meant taking care of small tasks: preparing the baking sheets, helping with pagpipigura (shaping) and pagkakamada (organizing) of the small cuts of dough, and coating everything with fine bread crumbs to avoid sticking. All of which were, to an extent, enjoyable except for the part where I had to stand near a hot commercial oven."

Bread of salt Young Blood contributor Teresa Hilis notes how baking bread in her childhood gave her both good and bad memories

"Perhaps what terrifies us most is not death itself, but the loss of the humble joys of life. Not being able to witness another sunrise, not hearing another story, not tasting another meal that reminds us of home, not feeling the warmth of another embrace. The fear of losing all of these awakens something deep within, as if the mind is overwhelmed by the beauty of being alive."
