m_shell had today off. So we had apple compote and crepes and yoghurt for breakfast. We put blueberries in the compote and it turned a lovely burgundy color.
And last night we made carrot soup with garam marsala and curry and cinnamon and cumin and yoghurt. And ate it with salad and toast with cheese. Mmmmmmm.
Also, I made many cookies, some of which I will be taking tolysimache's tonight. I often do "Almond Joy" cookies -- cookie base with coconut, chopped almonds, and chocolate chips. Only we had no almonds (or in fact any raw nuts). Doh! So I figured I'd make Mounds cookies. Only then I realized that we were out of vanilla and I hadn't purchased any, so I made them with amaretto instead. And they became Almond Joy cookies once again, only with almond flavoring instead of almonds. Two lessons: The part of my brain where "remembering to buy baking supplies" is located is full of giant holes. (We buy 10 lbs of flour at a time, so I'm all "of course we have flour!") And sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't.
