Summary
Analysis
This beer bread recipe is supposed to serve “Your strength when you feel alone.” It directs cooks to mix all the ingredients together, saving the herbs for last. The bread bakes for the length of a Bad Bunny album and is best eaten “with honey butter while listening to your own gut.”
This recipe sets readers up to understand how alone and lost Emoni feels. It will, presumably, help her learn to “listen to [her] own gut” and make the best choice for her when it comes to Drexel, work, and Babygirl.
