Friday afernoon I started to feel sick, so I rested most of the weekend. Saturday night was the worst. Sunday morning I just couldnt get up for church, so I stayed mostly in bed until around 3PM.
At 3PM, I felt I needed to go out and get my heart going or I would take root to the bed and never leave. I hopped on my bike, and pedalled to the church of the Madonna di San Luca, on the hill overlooking Bologna. It is close to 1000 feet elevation gain via the route i take - after 2.5 hours I came home, drenched from the freezing rain. Im not sure it helped.
Today, Monday, I felt utterly knackered out - but I'm on a tight schedule a work, so I crawled into the office, made it through the day with the help of some diet pepsi, and crawled home.
I was so hungry. I decided to try to do some baking. I had eggs, sugar, flour, lemons, baking soda, butter... recipiematch.com said I could make... lemon bars!
So, I baked lemon bars this evening. My first baking since 7th grade Home-Economis class in 1978. Yay me!
I hadn't realized that lemon bars were essentially Butter/Sugar/Lemonjuice omelettes. I hadn't even realized that there were eggs in lemon bars. I thought the yellow/orange color was from the LEMONS. Who knew? It was liking discovering tha blueberry muffins were largely made of mayonaise, pomegrantes and hummus.
So now I am sitting at the computer, listening to "rock of ages" by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, eating lemon bars, and getting so fat my wife will never love me again. But at least I baked.
