\"Sherlonya<\/a><\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

I have this crazy fantasy of being all Ma Ingalls<\/a> and making all of the food that my family needs and sewing clothes and just being that ultimate mother figure that Karen Grassle<\/a> evoked as she played Caroline. I am sure that Michael Landon figures in there somewhere in this fantsy, but that is neither here nor there. The whole working a day job and having student loans and other bills to pay sort of crushes the fantasy (for now). However, I can bake some bread.<\/p>\n

While resting the dough, I talked to a friend (ahhh, good times) and played a board game with my son. And there was more resting\/waiting to happen, so I made a cup of tea and played a half-hearted game of Candyland with the young one. Then there was a tryst with a piece of pita bread (well, half), half a banana and some mini chocolate chips accompanied by another cup of tea. What? 38 minutes and 28 more seconds? Well, there’s always Such a Pretty Fat<\/em>, a book I’ve been reading in little bite-sized morsels. And then there is the bread fantasy, me and a piece of bread slathered in butter (both of us if need be) and, then, mmmmm.\u00a0 Uh, somehow that didn’t strike me as Ma Ingalls.<\/p>\n

And that was before the smell took hold, yes, with 17 minutes and 17 seconds of baking to go, the kitchen began to smell like a bakery. It took a great deal of restraint to keep my saliva under control, and not on my keyboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Can’t you just smell it. Yes, that was the hard part, being able to smell it, knowing that I could partake of it’s yeasty warmth, but that I should wait for an hour (or two) before cutting into it.\u00a0 So, what else to do but return to the world of fantasy. I imagine a deep Barry Whitesque voice saying to me, “Woman, you sure do know how to make a finely-shaped loaf of bread.” Then I swoon and wait until my knife can defile the virgin loaf.<\/p>\n

And then she had dinner for bread.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
