kindkitWell, once again, the surest way to bring back my internet connection is to tell you all that it's gone. After four or five days without, I can once again talk to you people who live in the box!
Today I have a day off and am baking. Right now it's bagels, later on it'll be my Christmas fruitcake, which was delicious the last time I made it, two Christmases ago already. I'm fiddling with the recipe a bit by using about 850 grams of fruit and 50 grams of chopped candied ginger (thus omitting the peel and glacé cherries, which I don't like). I'm also planning to bake it in a 9x5 loaf pan, which has nearly the same area as the deep 20 centimer round pan I don't possess. I'll make fruitcake muffins out of any excess batter.
Also today I'm going to cook some veggies into forms that can be kept in the fridge to eat over the next few days (green beans in mustard vinaigrette and, um, something involving cabbage that I haven't figured out yet). And I need to do my laundry. And I really really need to work on editing my Yuletide fic.
My life: it's one thrill after another.
