Lesson learned this week: flu and baking makes happy birds

I learned a new lesson this week:

You see, I get energetic, when I get high fever. Do you remember that old commercial with the pink bunny and the batteries? That’s me with a fever. I can not be in my bed, dozing and reading.

This weekend, i was raking leaves, washing, ironing and yes, attempting to bake 2 of my favorite breads for this site, all with a red cheeks and flu. And obviously something went wrong, as it will when you are scatterbrained when baking, (which i am not the best at any day). The sourdough was flat and the bread turned hard as stone. The other, my spiced butternut squash bread was dry and crumbled, when it came out of the oven. It made for very happy birds and me feeling silly, so the recipes and picture will wait another week.
