Did a rather inordinate amount of baking for K's birthday. Started as soon as I finished work at about 1730 on Friday evening until I ran out of steam, then resumed at 5am on Saturday. It was a blast. I made matcha cookies, chocolate hazelnut brownies, a lime polenta cake with lime curd in the middle and rhubarb frosting, mini vegan quiches with oyster mushrooms and courgette inside, and a buckwheat, lentil and edamame salad with roasted courgettes. The pastry went wrong the first time so I had to do emergency hot water crust at short notice, and that was actually way better. The quiches were excellent (if I do say so myself).

Loads of chicken of the woods, so nothing to do but make KFC... Kirkcaldy Fried Chicken. And chunked a load for a future curry.
Polenta, almond and lime cake too, inspired by one I had at Culross Palace yesterday. Mine also has stewed rhubarb in, as a yoghurt substitute. Obviously.
