Up against the harsh wintry weather, here is a great relief to cabin fever. All you need is flour, water, yeast and salt, the necessary ingredients for homemade bread. And of course, you need an oven, in the cabin, to bake bread. More important, the critical ingredients are more than the tangible ones; it’s the desire and inclination to let time run its course.
