The 22nd was a Friday, so we had our usual Flour & Flowers chaos. We also offered a special cinnamon roll week before Christmas and added gifts to all the customers, so we added our own bit of crazy.
This was also the coldest–the absolute coldest!–day we can recall in Mae Sot.
So cold, in fact, we couldn’t get the bread to rise for the first time. Stephen to the rescue: he started the rice cooker with just water in it and created us a little steam room. We had water pouring down the walls and beautiful, plump bread in no time. And all of us loved volunteering to go in there to work! It was the warmest place in the house!
That evening, we started gift deliveries. We got them all loaded up, but honestly, they didn’t go amazing.
We made it through about 20% before we were waking everyone up (at 8:30pm. It wasn’t that crazy.) and we bailed until the next morning!
