We have been so pressured not to have extra food around when poison was coming to fight the termites and we have been so busy sweeping after the roofers that I resorted to cornbread in order to have something quick and good. Today I mixed and kneaded dough (no pause in between) and put in the refrigerator in 3 big bowls for 3 hours while I went to the computer and the beach. The last thing my brilliant historian biologist neuro-scientist Cockerham cousin said to me by email last night was, "I sure would like to see Sumter's speech" (in 1798 that is). So this morning like a good cousin I looked and tried another way and thought a bit and tried another way, and hip hip hurray I got the middle part of it and then after a while I got it all. I may never have this double triumph again so I am enjoying this one. And the bread may not have been the very best bread ever made, but you could not prove that by us. What a relief to have the time to cook right. Retirement!
