Also known as displacement activity. So anxious about the safety of the inauguration tomorrow, despite the beauty of the 250,000 flags on the Mall to symbolize the people who would be there, and the memorial ceremony this evening for the Covid dead, that I've been jolting about doing this and that.
Returns to the library, errand to get a power strip, for reasons too complicated to go into, then home and rapid spinning, very productive from that viewpoint. Then rapid exercise with scarves flying about like rockets. You'll know how desperate I got when I tell you I did the rough draft of my taxes. Found all the records, receipts, the lot. Downloaded and printed out forms.
Then I thought why not turn to something more soothing, and make some sort of comfort food for inaugural snacking purposes? Some very American stuff. So here are the golden raisin hot biscuits and cranberry jam that resulted.
It's jam, not sauce, because I upped the sugar level, added lemon juice and boiled it for much longer than usual, to get a good gel.
So here are the results. I just hope the day goes off well tomorrow and we will be able to say once again Morning in America.
