Spiced pear cake with apple maple sauce at the Community Kitchen. Emergency pickled watermelon (because why not).
Bottled tomatoes at home. Started two different batches of kombucha.
baking (16 out of 103)
- Planted some things.
- Worked a lot. An incredible sense of relief as I finally passed milestones for both projects I'm working on, BODS and Open Fibre. Also lots of prep for our new starts next week.
- Swam in the sea twice.
- Made cranachan at the Community Kitchen and many cheesecakes, burgers and bean things at home.
- Finished The Algebraist (loved it); started Tears of the Giraffe.
- Went on a hike in the Perthshire hills.
- Enjoyed an evening in Edinburgh with JB and RG.
- Bought some bright pink beats headphones from a local person and they're good so far. Bulkier than the sennheisers, so we'll see how they travel.
- Made jelly and (n)ice cream at the Community Kitchen, and an emergency birthday cake for a child which was requested right at the end of my shift (it was my pleasure). And earl grey, orange and thyme cupcakes at home.
- Got loads of BODS done, again!
- Started This Is Us and started and finished the newest season of The Orville.
- Ups and downs in co-op land.
- Swam in the sea twice.
- Went on walkies and enjoyed some clear, still days.
- Enjoyed an afternoon in Kirkcaldy JB and K, and discovered Merchants House has a new vegan menu..
- Planted some more things and cleared up the garden.
- The daffodils and crocuses are out, though it's still frosty in the morning. Mixed signals regarding the onset of spring..
- Encountered my dear frenemy and neighbour Mulder with no barking and growling for the first time ever! The strategy was to wave a bag of treats from the distance as I approached. He took one from me quite happily and climbed up my leg like we've been friends forever. I've been carrying around treats waiting to try this for a while. He has previously hated me with the burning rage of a thousand suns (because, I presume a) I live in close proximity to his territory, and b) because I associate with Max, whom he hates even more), so I'm very happy all it took was one treat to turn things around. Hopefully he can stop barking whenever I'm tiptoeing quietly through the hallway between our two homes, now.
- Watched Hamilton. Almost turned it off a couple of times, but was mostly enjoying it by the end. Learnt a lot more about US history than I knew before, and managed to stick with it, by wikipedia-ing things for the duration.

Apple peanut butter cake at the Community Kitchen.
A food waste workshop at GK too, where we used leftovers from the day before to make all kinds of things.
I made a really good wild mushroom gravy, and ate it twice.
Battered puffballs and ate them with everything.
Forgot about the tomatoes in the dehydrator, and lost a few..

Strawberry and rhubarb crumble, and gf pear brownie, at the Community Kitchen. Bottled, dried, pesto'd the harvest. Sourdough bananabread with old bananas from GK worked out well.

I made oreo rocky road, as requested, for R's 10th birthday party. I made honeycomb from scratch for it too. It contained more sugar than should be legal to feed to children. I also made a blackcurrant and rose cake for the grownups.

Elaborate rose, rhubarb and custard cupcakes for K's birthday. I finally got my doughnut filling nozzle out, and pumped them full of rhubarb curd.

Delicious, if slightly charred, oreo muffins (the ganache and oreo may or may not have been to disguise the slight charredness - my timer didn't go off).
Tacos every day for a week after I got lots of tortillas from the Community Kitchen, with various different fillings.
Peanut butter and jam brownie with banana (n)ice cream (chocolate coconut, or sea salt caramel flavours). Suuuuper good, if I do say so.

I overachieved on F's birthday cakes - coffee cupcakes with cheesecake center, cream cheese frosting, and another mini cupcake on top... and I even got them to Glasgow on public transport in one piece! They didn't last long after that though. I also made my trusty matcha cookie recipe, which never fails.
At F's, I made us all an elaborate breakfast.
I just made powdered sugar from granulated sugar in my blender. I always knew it was theoretically possible, but I kind of never believed it would really work. Happy to find I'm wrong!

Potatoes and hot sauce on toast for breakfast most of this week. A lot of potatoes to get through before it's time to plant the next lot...
Raspberry jelly and banana (n)ice cream at the Community Kitchen.
Then a last minute birthday cake for a four year old who liked last week's pink icing.
Earl grey, orange and thyme cupcakes.
I flipped a nomelette without breaking it.

Two raspberry themed treats at the Community Kitchen this week: peanut butter cups (with a secret raspberry center) and raspberry swirl cake. Unfortunately the pink part and the vanilla part came out the same colour once baked, so I had to do swirly icing at short notice instead.
Also made peanut butter blondies at home, with almonds and choc chips.

Confronted with an enormous mound of frozen raspberries, and a desperate craving for chocolate cake, I made many raspberry chocolate cakes, and covered it in raspberry chocolate ganache.
