I made this yummy caramel apple Danish this morning. It was so good that my daughter didn't believe I made it! I thought I was being a nice wife and mother.... But alas, was I ever wrong.
In return for my baking skills, which later included a dinner of chicken parmesean and garlic bread, I was denied a true pleasure, a dark rain cloud moved over the sun in my sky. My husband took the computer to work with him, rendering me Skype-less.
What's the fuss you ask? Why can't I pick up a phone, send a text, type out an email or write a letter? Because! Skyping allows me to feel as though I
am not alone! I can chat with Ms Liberty84 for hours on end! (sad but true fact is that she lives less than 2 miles away) So on this last evening of school vacation, not only does hubby pick up an overnight shift, but he takes the one visual connection I have to the only other person in this whole wide world ( that I have found thus far) who is most like me.
So what's a girl to do? Throw the kids in bed, snuggle up on the couch with the dog and stuff her face of course! Mango Laasi, I'll take a large, caramel apple Danish- sorry kids you get cereal for breakfast. The only way this night could get better without him returning the laptop to me would be if the door opened and he came in with some Taco Bell- Mexican pizza, chicken chalupas with nacho cheese, a gordita wrap supreme and a cherry pepsi!
But alas, I must accept the fact that the taco bell won't come tonight, and that I must wait till tomorrow to be lazy on skype with Ms Liberty84....
Hubby, you better bring me a spinach and feta omlette for breakfast tomorrow!
