H's train was delayed by 77 minutes, and she told me she wanted a brownie when she arrived (around midnight). So I thought I'd better get on and make some brownies... I usually mess with brownie recipes and put at least one vegetable inside, but for an emergency it's a straight butter/sugar/cocoa deal and it turned out so well. Will make again.
Visited J&F&E&E in Falkirk and worked on the crochet sea turtle but didn't finish it.
Enjoying Lilith's Brood, though some of the things the humans do are far more alien to me than the things the Oankali do. But also many aspects from the stories are working their way into my dreams quite severely.
Visited Dave in Dunoon. We climbed Bishop's Seat, visited Loch Eck and ate lots. Completely failed to see the northern lights despite being in a northern location with perfectly clear skies and low light pollution... because I went to bed early.
Peach cobbler and fancy truffles at the Community Kitchen. I had to hand chop the almonds because the blender is broken. And this evening: a burger with mac n not-cheese on top.
Made some vegan and gluten-free treats for a small gathering. Peanut butter cups with secret blackberry jam in the middle. Lemon and coconut drizzle cake.
Healthy omega muffins full of nuts and yoghurt and topped with raspberry frosting at the Community Kitchen. Coffee, hazelnut and pecan cake at home, made for the first time with gluten free flour. It was slightly denser and drier than usual, but nonetheless was well received by various test subjects. The frosting was coconut oil, strong brewed coffee and icing sugar, and that was pretty great.
Made a beautiful chocolate orange drizzle cake. It came to me in a dream. What if lemon drizzle... but chocolate orange?? Genius. With coconut ganache on top, as all good things should.
Also approximately eleven billion gingerbread folk at the Community Kitchen.
