“Same procedure as last year?” “Same procedure as every year.” Guten Rutsch! 🎆

The Snook had several egg whites left over from our tiramisu last week, and he was determined not to make a meringue with them. Instead today he baked a large financier, a French cake using almond flour and brown butter, and covered it with fresh cherries. Yum. ❤️

I’m certainly getting my money’s worth out of this fabric, aren’t I? I had just enough left to cut out another Arkie Shirt. I’ve gone down a body size on this one, and I’ve raised the break point an inch. I’m really pleased with how it’s turning out! This is the third one of these I’ve sewn, and each one has gotten better.

I also experimented with the tweezer method of turning out the collar on this one. It’s definitely sharper than the ones I’ve done in the past. #sewing

I managed my first bike ride in months today! Just a 15min pootle over to the library to return books, but given how badly I injured my hip when we moved house, I’m being very cautious. So far no pain… 🤞🚴‍♀️
