I am officially sick

Try my zucchini bread. This and tea help me through the worst of colds.

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
1 2/3 cups flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon (put in more if you want stronger flavor)
1/2 tsp. nutmeg (put in more if you want stronger flavor)
3/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/3 cup water
about 1 cup (shredded) zucchini

Preheat oven to 350˚

Mix sugar and oil in large bowl. Add eggs and beat well. Add all dry ingredients and mix with water adding slowly. Mix until just combined, don't over mix. Fold in zucchini or bananas. Pour in a greased loaf pan and bake for 60 - 70 minutes. Check at 60 minutes. If still wobbly in center give it another 10 minutes. Cool completely. I like to store my loaf wrapped in foil, it keeps it super moist.

If you love something, let it go. If it comes back....it's broken.

Love, love LOVE that quote from Grosse Pointe Blank. Well delivered. However, it is not my own personal philosophy. It used to be.
Last night was pretty fun- a friend asked if I was available to help clean up a rental house, in jest, and I agreed. It was a night of music, moving furniture, and surface cleaning. I know it doesn't sound like a hoot and a holler, but it's quite the rewarding feeling one gets accomplishing a task or project which helps another. In celebration, Jack and Gingers were had, as well as a good night's sleep.
5 hours of sleep.
I can't remember the last time I slept for more than two hours.
