So many people have lost their lives in this horrible earthquake/tsunami tragedy. But a sense of humor is a must, so... <br />After being shaken around and a sleepless night due to aftershocks, I do NOT feel like going shopping. <br /> So wrapped in the beauty of my garden this morning, I'm feeling extra blessed that my family is fine, even they still can't get home. I pick some kumquats, sage, and garlic chives, thinking that cooking should be therapeutic. I need comfort food! I turn off the TV, turn off the horror. <br />My knives tap to the rhythm of my music, maybe Ronnie Milsap's "Earthquake". I try hand-shaking the batter to release some tension, and ignoring an aftershock, comforting aromas begin to fill the kitchen. <br />That's the time the phones start ringing, communication restored, laughter with friends. <br />Doorbell rings--22 hours later, Hubby is finely home! <br /> <br />I always have some frozen (cooked) turkey meat. You can substitute a different crust, if you like.
