A Chic Paris Lockdown – Part 2: Day 19 – Laugh Out Loud

 November 21, 2020

“Find your favorite comedy” is Day 19 in 30 Chic Days At Home by Fiona Ferris. Fiona writes that she enjoyed watching light-hearted comedies and humorous YouTube shows during the last lockdown. They brought a chuckle to her day.

I was feeling a bit morose this morning when I woke up. A slight scowl felt more comfortable than a smile. Happily, I had a walking meet-up with some girlfriends (all social distancing rules followed!) Even though I could only walk with them for about 15 minutes, the beautiful weather, crisp air and fun companionship completely lifted my mood.

I haven’t watched any movies or shows since we watched the movie “Patton” in July (George C. Scott was terrific in it.) But maybe Fiona’s advice has some merit. I would welcome some good giggles …. maybe I can look up some old Andy Griffith Show episodes – Don Knox as Deputy Barney Fife always cracks me up.

On the Keto (dairy-free, nut-free) cooking front, I finally created a good flaxseed “focaccia”-type sandwich bread – using a hard goat cheese. Thanks to some very kind internet bloggers, I learned that if you want to use flaxseed flour in place of almond flour, you reduce the amount of flaxseed flour to one-third of the almond flour listed in the recipe.  The original recipe used 3 tablespoons of almond flour and when I used 1 tablespoon of flaxseed flour in its place, eureka! a “focaccia” style sandwich bread was born.

Now, it’s time to turn to Amazon Video and see if I can pull up the first season of the Andy Griffith show….
