My
grandmother is famous in the towns near our ranch for the wonderful
bread she makes and sells. Her Pan Hecho del Rancho is made from
the same traditional recipe that our ancestors have used for hundreds
of years (see Recipe).
When
my grandmother makes bread, she kneels barefoot on the ground and
kneads the dough. Some people ask why she doesn't stand up or sit
in a chair, to be more comfortable. But she tells them that her
ancestors have always knelt this way and she wouldn't think of making
her bread any differently.
