Glorious golden honey

Millions of people, all over the world, for thousands of years, have enjoyed honey on their bread. Fresh white rolls, rich dark wheat bread, delicious fried sopapillas. I myself have had honey on three different continents, on a variety of breads. All of which I enjoyed immensely. I like to try good things, in new ways.

That is why I keep honey, of all sorts, in my house.

But, and this is an important but, I think that those millions of people, for thousands of years, probably prefer that their honey be poured over their bread AFTER it is removed from the plastic wrap.

Not after it has tipped over in the pantry, dripped down through one shelf, coated the entire bread basket (and cloth liner, and everything in the basket) then dripped through that onto the next shelf down... finally coming to a rest onto something solid, and thankfully, washable!

That was last Thursday.

Have you noticed that I haven't written since then?

We haven't been having a bad time - just very full. I realized today that along with not writing, I hadn't even checked my E-mail in almost an entire week! (and I haven't read a single book either!) I am counting on things calming down, and getting a chance to go back and read everyone else's blogs - catch up on life.

In the meantime, I now have to put my nose back to the grindstone.... but perhaps a quick snack first? Toast with honey, maybe?
