Something bad is in the air. When I stepped outside this morning I immediately felt bad. Seriously bad. Like I could not breathe. I started gagging and coughing and could not get my breath. I don’t know what is in the air this morning that wasn’t there yesterday, but whatever it is, I can’t deal with it.
Cooking from Scratch
This morning we have a lot of cooking to do, as we are all expected at my mother’s house for a family gathering. September is a big month for family birthdays, so a few years ago we decided to have one huge family party at my mother’s and each birthday person gets their own cake to blow out candles and we all pitch in to give each one a nice present that is opened in front of the whole crowd.
The big deal about the gathering, besides celebrating birthdays, is that everyone has to bring food with them and the food has to be prepared from scratch. No deli-bought potato salad and no store bought breads or frozen vegetables. I have to get to the store and buy some things and get busy in the kitchen.
