Treats!!

A long but productive couple days at work. I was so looking forward to getting home because I had remembered to take out steak, so I knew I was having steak and Caesar salad with a glass of red wine. If I had to choose just one meal to eat for the rest of my life, that would be it. I would never get tired of it!! 

I had stopped at the post box on my way in, and my package from Helen had arrived!! I texted her and she FaceTimed me, because the package I sent to her arrived today too!!! I left that envelope on the table until I had eaten and had my pudding in the oven. 

I live my most adventurous life through my friends. I’m a homebody by nature, and I have my puppies to care for. I know, handy excuse ... 

Helen sent me the most awesomely excellent coffee beans from her tour of the Seattle Starbucks!! If you could just smell these - sweet baby Jesus, I just woke up a bit! There was a wonderfully soft skein of yarn from Sin City Yarn  It reminds me of the colouring of orchids or gladiolus. The the fun bit - which I’ll have to photocopy to use because I don’t want to use it and then never be able to use it again. Dr Who Mad Libs!!  I don’t know if I have enough friends to play it with anyway ... maybe when Storm Crow Manor opens up in Toronto? 

Then I decided to make my fave keto brownies made tonight with Magic Butter. It’s a mug recipe that is primarily promoted as microwaveable. Fortunately, the recipe includes traditional baking instructions as I don’t have a microwave.

I thaw/warm the berries on the burner that the oven vents from while the brownie bakes. Then top the hit-from-the-oven brownie with Krisda chocolate chips so that they melt perfectly, the perfectly heated berries, and softly whipped cream. One generous single serving of absolute unguilty chocolately guilty pleasure!!! 

Gonna get some knitting done on Humulus, then sleep until I wake up. A small work errand to do tomorrow, but otherwise I anticipate much knitting!!
