N's head is on my shoulder. The sun has travelled far above the windows. It is late Saturday morning, in an empty house with just the lazy traffic and some dogs barking from downstairs. I kiss her shoulder, let her sleep in. I wander the rooms, make some coffee, splash apple vinegar into the bottom of a white ceramic cup, then top it off with milk. It will sour in about fifteen minutes. It is a new way to make pancakes - light and fluffy, littered with a constellation of miniature holes. My old ones were leaden - dense, moist, and crisp on the outsides.
