I must confess that I miss my kitchen. I've been in the hospital for over a month at this time, and although I am getting better, I have a long way to go. I'm going to have to build up strength, which will take a while, and I don't foresee a return home for a while yet. But the harder I work at things, without overdoing it, then I hope to go home to my own bed, kitties and kitchen, even though it might take a while to really get back in the swing of things.
On of the last things I made before going to the hospital were these little dinner-roll-size Mediterranean-inspired crusty loaves. Needless to say, they go well with a hot bowl of soup, but they are perfect on the side too as they are bursting with flavor because of the addition of fresh Kalamata olives, zesty sun-dried tomatoes and dried herbs. Slice and serve with some butter or just enjoy as is.
