I haven’t really been in a writing mood lately – illness and rowdy children will do that. And due to some pre-existing stomach issues as well as the pox I am limited in what comfort foods I can eat: caffeine, alcohol, carbonation, chocolate, fatty foods, and citrus are off the menu. There isn’t much comfort left at the end of the day but a girl’s still gotta eat.
So, in spite of the heat I decided to make bread today. Freshly baked bread slathered in butter is what I was craving today so I got off my butt and into the kitchen.
I may not be the baker you would choose out of a lineup because the pox get no more attractive as they progress, but if my family isn’t happy to eat the bread then all the more for me. They have all already had it and if the chicken pox was that easy to contract then I suppose I would have had it long ago and I wouldn’t be here baking bread right now. I’d be recovering from jet lag on the side of the Atlantic.
I haven’t been writing, but I have been thinking. I almost pity the poor character who will be similarly afflicted soon…
Bread! YUMMY! There’s nothing that homemade bread can’t fix. I hope you’re feeling better soon and able to finish your trip. Keep us posted!
