Daydreaming with Tetsubunatu

I wanted something sweet so I threw an egg, some almond meal and sugar, a spoonful of rice flour and some soy milk into a cup. It looked dull so I added a chopped up strawberry and a dash of rosewater before popping it into the microwave. Then I spotted the icing sugar and decided to make icing while it was cooking. I used a teeny drop of rosewater and a spoonful of 'nudie' coconut yoghurt, and it was really, really good, melting over the mug cake. An experimental cake that worked! :) The strawberry chunks and the rosewater were beautiful complements to each other and the almond meal.

My daughter made cake today from a recipe in my NMAA cookbook (adapted to be glutenfree/dairyfree). I lifted it in and out of the oven for her, but otherwise all I did was advise. Good work, kiddo!

I bought myself a hot chocolate today. A ridiculous indulgence at $4, but it was cold and I had hauled myself off my sickbed and poured myself through the shower in order to go and pick up my daughter and her musical instruments at school. Due to building works the supply of parking near the school is severely stressed at the moment, so I knew I'd have to get there early and wait. I can't wait until the building works are finished and I get my half-empty parking lot back again.

It was a good hot chocolate, though! 

I was so happy when we arrived home this afternoon to realise that the boys hadn't found last night's leftover saagwala and rice in the fridge! ;)  The girlie and I had it for lunch (leaving the boys to eat pies from the freezer).

Chicken curry for dinner. Yuuuuum!

Reverting to form, I forgot to take a photo!
