The document discusses framing a team project around the idea of favors and the value of bread. It provides two examples of favors exchanged: doing dishes in exchange for a homemade Sunday brunch including waffles, and going to the store on Election Night in exchange for a dinner of grilled cheese and pot pies. It argues that in both cases the bread provided fulfilling meals and quality time. The document then lists additional ways that bread provides value beyond food, such as for crafts, gardening, feeding animals, and bringing community.

Let’s
frame
this
project
around
the
idea
of
favors.
Bread
can
serve
as
a
bargaining
tool
for
favors.
Favor
#1
This
weekend,
I
did
a
sink
load
of
dishes
in
exchange
for
Sunday
afternoon
brunch,
which
consisted
of
homemade
waffles
(the
"bread"
I'm
referencing
in
this
example),
shrimp
&
grits
and
smushed
potatoes.
The
value
of
the
bread
in
this
case
is
a
clean
kitchen,
a
fulfilling
afternoon
meal,
along
with
family
bonding
time.
