@sebwhatever @actuallyautistic @actuallyadhd @actuallyaudhd lately I don’t have the energy for anything new, so I am falling back to the defaults that bring me comfort:
- #baking - #sourdough #breads mainly, but also anything I have the ingredients at hand for
- trying to go back to #blogging more regularly - it was my first love, but also helps with offloading the thoughts that would otherwise plague my brain and keep coming at me
- #data as a hobby

I've been baking scones instead of muffins lately.
As a result, I let our muffin supplies get to a perilous low. There were only two muffins left in the freezer.
My husband and Summer made sure I was aware of the situation the first thing this morning.
So, this afternoon I baked dozens of blueberry muffins. Perfect for an afternoon snack with a cup of tea.
Our supply is replenished.
I think we will be ok now.
Thank goodness.

It was just suggested to me that I am "frustration-baking" again 😂.
True. Frustrated with hours spent for nothing on a banking website. Then fighting their AI on the phone.
So there will be plum cake this afternoon 💪.

So...as the power is off, and I didn't know, and I hadn't got my work onto my usb stick, I decided to make a chocolate brownie instead...

Fresh out of the oven....added some extra fudge bits, to make it extra healthy!

See, I run and I bakes my own cakes as well :)

Chatting with my daughter every day while we protest has been really special.
She is smart, funny, empathetic and fiercely liberal.
I am a proud mom.
She is also really good at reminding me that my cinnamon scones were her absolute favorite baked thing I have ever baked.
So today I got the hint and will give them another go.
I so hope that they turn out the same. You never know with me.
My free wheeling approach to recipes gets me in trouble sometimes when I need to deliver the same thing again.
Fingers crossed they are good.
They are in the freezer now getting cold before I pop them in the oven.

It's Sunday Tea at the hall this weekend (a massive cake sale/excuse to drink tea, in order to raise money for the local community).

Going to try and make some brönie, which seems to be the equivalent of bara brith (one of my favourite fruit breads). It might be a little dryer than the bara brith I'm used to making, but is essentially a very similar recipe. From what I've read, it's made with ginger down in Orkney.

Mmm. Now I want cake.
