Chew on This | Beer Bread

The Boy is home sick. He starting feeling yucky last Thursday morning but didn't have a fever and still wanted to go to school. I drove him to school, walked him into his classroom, he energetically waved goodbye and 45 minutes later I got the call to come and pick him up. He's been feeling punk ever since.

And he's not the only one. The Sprite came home from school today telling me that four of her classmates were sent home early and five were already absent. 

Culprit = nasty, vicious flu. 

I'm carrying around a can of Lysol and Clorox wipes to keep the germs at bay. Here's hoping it works.

I hope you're feeling well. Well enough to make yourself some warm, soft on the inside, crusty and buttery on the outside, Beer Bread. It will certainly cure whatever ails you.
