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 (https://virtualwolf.org/media/posts/1381), 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.

A photo of a pile of pan-fried dumplings in a cardboard takeaway box.

We went to Castle Towers for dinner, intending on trying the Japanese place that's there, except it was ridiculously packed and had a queue to even order, so we gave up and got food court dumplings, which were better than they had any right to be (though they WERE pretty greasy). Then we went to Uniqlo and I bought new clothes that actually look nice! (Of the three items I got, two are black and the pair of pants is a VERY dark navy blue. So I'm still wearing all black, just with a nicer cut and better fit.)

A photo of scrambled eggs and potato gems sitting on a plate. The potato gems are golden-brown and crispy, and the eggs are fluffy.

Dinner. Of. Champions.

A photo of two slices of rustic-looking bread lying open-faced on a plate, covered in slices of tomato with cooked mushrooms on top and little chunks of cheddar cheese on top of that.

A photo of two cooling racks with small-ish round golden-brown cookies on top.

What a delicious day that was. Mushrooms cooked in sage, rosemary, and garlic with cooked tomatoes on my home-made bread, with sharp cheddar cheese sprinkled on top for lunch, then I made miso chocolate chip cookies this afternoon.

A photo of two round golden brown loaves of bread sitting on a cooling rack on a white countertop. The sun is streaming in the window and directly onto them.

A photo of nine individual tupperware containers that each have half rice and half red tomato-based chicken curry with green beans and carrots in it.

Man, today was the day of cooking. First these two round loafy bois, then NINE serves of curry for leftover lunches.
