In the evening quail came up and covered the camp.

In the morning a dew lay all about the camp,
and when the dew evaporated, there on the surface of the desert
were fine flakes like hoarfrost on the ground.
On seeing it, the children of Israel asked one another, “What is this?”
for they did not know what it was.
But Moses told them,
“This is the bread which the LORD has given you to eat.”
–from yesterday’s readings; the way God answers your prayers is never the way you expect, even when the answer is “yes”
