One has to do what one has to do
Apr. 1st, 2021 06:24 pmSaw my yammering post yesterday? Well, I've worked myself up to a really good rage during the night - yes, I can do that in my sleep, literally; it's a gift *g* - and decided to give Covid the middle finger. Therefore I stand up and made not only my traditional Easter ham (the one with garlic and cumin) but also one sort of Easter biscuits. 30 meagre pieces of one sort instead of 10 or 15 or 30 sorts, but I will have my Easter biscuits and Covid be damned!
It was exhausting. I've got this exhaustion in my bones due to the last seven or so weeks. But I'm glad I brought up the anger (rather than the actual strength). It was wonderful to do something so normal - something I always do before Easter. Granted, usually I'd have been done with all this a week ago, but the important thing is that I DID IT, and wrestled my Easter back from the virus and everything else.
Pictures tomorrow as the decoration of the biscuits aren't finished yet - the icing needs to harden and besides, I've run off of energy. But I'm deliriously happy that they've turned out relatively pretty. After the recent baking mishaps I needed something that comes together, for a change.
