re: #192 MsJ

If your comfortable doing so. I screwed up me knee and am dying to cook. But I can barely stand let alone walk around the kitchen. I’m deadly tired just hitting the John. I’ve never been good on crutches.

If I could carry a bowl or messing cup I’d be doing it. So, I know just how you feel. If you can do it, go for it. If not, don’t beat yourself up. Go with the flow. It’s only one year.

I actually bake much more frequently than once a year. The day before my surgery I baked a full batch of challah, but now the holidays are coming up and even though we still have loaves from that previous baking I need more festive loaves.

I checked and we have all the ingredients available. I can stand for short intervals and the mixer does all the hard labor (I have an Ankarsrum).

I can shape the loaves sitting down.
