Bread Fairy

On Saturday night I had a great girls night out. We went to The Capital Grille and I got all excited when the bread basket came and there was a raisin pumpernickel prominently displayed. I had to try it immediately, and I have to say it's not half bad with a stoli doli. :)

That led to a conversation about this bread project with my two friends; one who has been actively involved (Davina) and the other who knew nothing about it (Sue). Very ironic that it worked out that way since Davina is the one usually on some lo carb thing avoiding bread, and Sue is an unabashed bread lover, maybe even her favorite food. So I took it as genuine interest when she started asking questions about the ins and outs of the project. Not that I was going to be shy in talking about it; i've written 27 posts so far even though I think the number of both readers and comments is probably under 10. It seems I'm ok with just waxing on and on about this.

Really my Dad was pretty uninterested when I tried to talk to him about it. He did show some more interest when I actually arrived with bread. But to be fair I had him admitted to the hospital the next morning because he was so weak, in part from lack of appetite. I'm happy to say that he's quickly gained back 5 lbs of the 10 he lost while on the drugs that sent him to the hospital and he's definitely eating again. So it seems the time is right to deliver the next loaf.

Davina called me the "bread fairy". She described the fun of discovering fresh baked bread at her door at random moments. I totally LOVE being called the bread fairy. I might even claim it for my own use - self-declared bread fairy. Could even show up as my user name or new handle on some online dating site. :) Hope my Dad comes to see me as a bread fairy too.
