a long time ago, before my hair started to slightly grey, i was a strapping, handsome young man, 6 ft tall, dark hair and tanned........ wait, wrong stimulus, sorry!
a long time ago, before my college days and just after high school, i took a job as a baker, yep, i am a certified baker, to this day, the smell of a bakery, sends me into salivating mode. get ready for this....hope you are sitting down, but the smell of freshly baked chunky cheese bread makes my stomach think it's empty and sends my eyes rolling up into the back of my head as i grip my growling tummy..... did that temped you?
if you don't have a bakery near by and don't have they tools or strength to make your own, you could always purchase a loaf and then reheat it in the oven. cheese tea biscuits are always a nice sweet added surprise to have midday, i do that for my girls sometimes when the get home from school and the house goes completely silence. if bread/gluten is not your thing, perhaps another form of gluten free dough with added cinnamon, gently heated. please don't tell me you hate the smell of warm cinnamon!
i hope this brings a few tips to assist in appetite stimulation, hope you made it this far in reading and didn't get stuck on the first sentence and most of all, i hope you feel well and get well, you are a valued member here. well, gotta go, i made a nice large pot of spaghetti sauce and my tummy is starting to rumble!
