No Fiber Diet
Without giving all the gory details, I will mention that my sweetheart has to do a little medical procedure and has been on a restricted diet. For two days he couldn't have anything with fiber and since he loves meat, sauce, white rice and noodles, this was only a minimal hardship. I baked a loaf of regular old sandwich bread from Cooks Illustrated. Look how pretty it turned out. Tasted good, too.
Today he has to fast. I've known this man for 12 years and I've NEVER seen him go 24 hours without solid food. Pray for us. He was already grouchy this morning. He went to a movie about Joe Strummer and hopefully he has a movie to watch when he comes home. Or I think he was going to stop by his office and clear a few things off his desk. Keep him occupied until bed time.
Today was supposed to be my lazy day and I seem to be chasing my tail. I'm going to have to re-read that thing about big rocks first and then figure out what my big rocks are.
If it's not raining I'm going to go do a bit of raking. You rarely want to wish for rain in this part of the world but since I have a hard time sitting around in the house when it's nice outside, I've been kind of hoping it would get started.
I'm going to put on my work clothes and see if I can get it to start.
