Week in review: 2nd - 8th May
- Caught up on Co-op stuff that I've been neglecting.
- A grey week, in contrast to last week, warm and cold.
- Finished Shadow of the Hegemon, started The Vampire Lestat.
- Baked vegan quiche, mincemeat tarts (still dragging out the christmas leftovers), and made jelly at the Community Kitchen.
- Made khichdi, a victoria sponge cake, spaetzle/knoepfle (Liechtenstein) and kanom krok (Laos).
- Went to the Black Cat Cafe, and discovered many exciting new things down the far end of the High St where I don't normally go.. a new veg shop and organic food store! Also got top Kirkcaldy gossip in the cafe.
- Harvested more dryad's saddle from the early warning tree.
- Potted up French beans. More aubergines sprouted, and sweet peppers, better late than never. A few nasturtiums and mystery seedlings sprouted in footpath garden. Planted out tomatoes in footpath garden. Only inkycap mushrooms are coming up in the new chilli farm, but Hungarian black peppers are ripening.
- Soya beans hadn't come up, and some digging around revealed they seem to have rotted. Will be contacting Johnson's..
- Hung out with Max.
- Put yellow and pink cellophane (that I found in Furniture Plus!) in my bathroom light to make it warmer and less stark. Definite improvement.
- Started a series of posts on cooking experiments from countries I've never been to. In lieu of actually travelling, and inspired by worldle generating a new inspirational country every day.
- Went to the Scottish vegan festival in Edinburgh, spent about £100 on hot sauce and other tasty things, then stayed over with K&M and poor wee Lowenna who is recovering (well) from emergency surgery.
