A photo of fifteen golden cut rounds, which look essentially like scones, sitting on a cooling rack.

It's been a while, I made some more cut rounds today!

A photo of a bowl of vanilla ice cream with chocolate topping, crushed peanuts, sprinkles, and it's all slightly brown because of the shot of Kahlúa I put over it all.

I've done fourteen thousand steps so far today, have hit 300% of my move goal, recorded some drums in Logic Pro earlier this afternoon for a song I've been noodling around with, and am currently making a double batch of lentil rice with bush curry seasoning to have with eggplant kasundi and Greek yoghurt for lunches during the week. So I decided to treat myself with some ice cream with Ice Magic, crushed peanuts, sprinkles, and a shot of Kahlúa on top. 😁

A photo of moussaka in a white ceramic dish with a slice of sourdough next to it.

A photo of galaktoboureko, which is a Greek dessert made of filo pastry and filled with semolina custard. There's a berry compote on it and some vanilla bean ice cream next to it.

Yassssss. Excellent as always.

A photo of a bowl of vanilla ice cream topped with Ice Magic and crushed peanuts.

I had another rubbish night's sleep last night (my right thigh muscles and lower back have been sore, enough that it keeps me awake if I don't take ibuprofen), so I called the physiologist and managed to get an appointment this afternoon. After a bunch of stretching and questions and testing, he reckoned it was most likely because my back is REALLLLY stiff and it's not quite pinching a nerve but enough that it's causing signalling weirdness to my leg. He gave me a thorough massaging and I've got some exercises to do and will see how it goes and will go in again next week.

So tonight we went out for Thai for dinner and bought some crushed peanuts on the way back to take @Andrea@social.chinwag.org's advice with the ice cream and Ice Magic from last time, and HOT DAMN was she on the money! 👌🏻

A photo of a square white ceramic baking dish with delicious-looking chocolate brownie in it.

I made gluten-free brownies for Kristina's birthday! It's a new recipe we haven't tried before so it's possible it'll be awful, but we'll find out this afternoon when we have it.

A photo of two round golden-brown loaves of spread with an excellent splitting on the top of each of them, sitting on a cooling rack.

Made some quality loaves today.

A photo of two cooling racks full of flat, golden-brown cookies. On some of them, there's chunks of chocolate sitting up in the cookie and they look very neat and tidy. On most of the others, the chocolate has totally melted and turned into more of a chocolate coating.

Well, that's annoying. I decided to make another batch of rosemary chocolate chunk cookies but didn't have enough left of the block of chocolate I use (Darrell Lee's dark chocolate) so bought another at the shops the other day. Apparently they've changed their formulation because the chocolate from the new block COMPLETELY melted, versus the older block that stayed pretty much intact in chunks. I guess it won't really change the flavour, but it's going to be significantly messier to eat!

A photo of a big frying pan with absolutely chockers with what looks like bolognaise sauce with green beans and carrots in it, except it's actually not beef.

My department at work had another one of our quarterly "refresh days" (a free day off without having to use up a day of annual leave), so I spent part of the day putting in some seals to fix the last of the draughty doors, and another part making a huge serve of Quorn-based tomato pasta sauce to have for lunches. Tons of onion, tons of garlic. 👌🏻

A photo looking down at a the top of a mug of coffee, the foam in the top has what looks like a stylised ghost that looks like it's in motion.

I made a ghost in my coffee! Much better than my previous attempt at coffee art, though that's a very low bar.

A photo of a thick slice of rye bread covered in smashed avocado with two poached eggs on one side and something that looks like corned beef (but isn't, I'm not entirely sure what it was but it was delicious) on the other, and hot chips sitting behind it.

Aw yeah, having a remote farewell lunch for our intern, I hit up our local café and it was goooooood.
