I was sick in June and just yesterday made proper bread for the first time, and I wasn't even exhausted after. It can be a slow, frustrating, non-linear recovery.

I work with the same basic recipe, though I often sub in pineapple and/or ripe pear for the orange. Sugar to taste, of course.
My mother adds in gelatin (often a box of Jell-O) for texture, but I skip that

My preferred tool is a hand crank meat grinder (that isn't also used for meat). No cranberry gets missed.
Also the one my mother has does not hold liquid so it has to be captured in a bowl. Some of that liquid gets mixed back in, but there can be enough for a few small cups of tart juice

I was born in Michigan, but moved across the country shortly after I turned 11.
I would say I was from Michigan when I lived in Arizona but that only worked because most everyone there was from somewhere else (often the Midwest)

Didn't get a pic but Volta was similarly laying in the other corner.
They don't always get access to this room so they have to find the most out of the way places to make a stand

Biggest effect likely to be more attrition during this interval (the only one, after act two).

The restart was pretty smooth; got going with Carmen and Manuelita coming into view in the fenced area.
