At lunch I said that I'd like a biscuit, but had none. Now I could drive out and buy them, which would take about 45 minutes. I realized that I could baked biscuits in less time that it took to buy what somebody else has made. I'mmight be getting lazy and relying on others to make and sell things I could make myself. Besides, research has shown the therapeutic nature of baking. I t has calming effects. I'd hazard a guess that other forms of cooking have a similar impact. These are creative activities that result in a tangible end product that brings satisfaction through eating and sharing. I like the tactile aspects of baking -- mixing, kneading, and such; yet, the chopping and mixing of cooking bring rewarding and pleasurable feelings, too.
We had some nice sunshine for a while in the early afternoon and are expecting some precipitation in the next 24 hours. It is January in the Maritimes, isn't it. That is why this blog may sound like a stuck record (a nod to my age there??<smile>) when covering the weather.
Lyrics of today's selection mention cooking and even fresh scones -- somewhat akin to biscuits. <smile> Keep safe. Enjoy!
