Aunt E.H.

All our food shenanigans are at the other place these days.

Exciting times.

Whistling in the dark.

So, in the kitchen, interpersonal relationships have been incredibly lively.

As you may know, if you've been paying attention, Angelata is now a reformed vegan and this has changed everything about how we work together. I'm very optimistic about the future direction we're headed and I hope that in time we'll be able to produce some really great dishes together.

I haven't got anything new to report in the kitchen, in terms of dishes, just now.

The Jerry.

Tonic water, ice, ginger syrup and three sour cherries.

And if that's not enough hot news...

There will be a bake off between us and our favourite cook in Bugsplat.

Sour cherries are involved.

Bugsplat Future Cafe.

And today, after Mannie had her 5th Sunday privilege, we helped Mannie's particular friend and our general friend move some furniture in preparation for her opening a cafe one day... soonish.

Very exciting.

The bread and wine, of fellowship.

I'm so grateful. Thank you all so much.

Pastry.

We've been saving pastry and Graham Greene and bridge for "later".

Now we are of age, it's time. Pastry first.

Rye and walnut pastry with parsnip and roast eggplant, for a birthday.

So now we need yet another bookshelf and a marble bench.

Pizza, again.

It's Gray's favourite.
