Hurricane Harvey has brought devastation to the Houston area and yet there are hopeful stories that show us how humanity can work together. One of them, which I read in Saveur Magazine, written by Dan Q Dao, is about a group of bakers who were trapped by the storm.
At the Wayside Drive location of Houston's 20-year-old panaderia El Bolillo, the men decided to make the most of their time: by baking loaves of sweet Mexican bread, bolillos, for those in need. Over the course of the two days they were trapped, the group baked their way through over 4,200 pounds of flour. As the waters began to recede, the owner was able to pick up the men, and they immediately began delivering bread to first responders. With more employees joining the effort since then, the store's three locations have baked thousands of loaves to be delivered to the makeshift shelters set up at the Convention Center, nursing homes, and local churches. A very sweet and hopeful story.
