Not a better Monday than others (how could it be?!)
But came home to kid2's further #cookie experiments or rather skills practice now, so yes in fact a better Monday than others!

[These have cut pieces from a chocolate bar rather than store bought chips; yes makes a huge diff]

I’m attempting to bake proper hot cross buns for the first time. It’s one of the things I miss most since leaving the UK, just being able to buy them in the supermarket!

Some US stores sell something they call “hot cross buns” but THE BUNS ARE A LIE!! 🤮 Not the same thing at all!

Today I powered through allll the admin (including a doctor's appointment) that I'd been postponing, so I rewarded myself by baking double-chocolate chip cookies.

It was SUCH a good idea!

(I used my family's favorite recipe: lovingitvegan.com/vegan-chocol - with my usual 2 amendments of using 2 tbs non-dairy milk instead of 1 and also taking out the cookies one minute early to give them a hard rap against the stovetop before putting them back in to bake for their final minute.)

Baking our overnight risen daily everyday #sourdough bread and the most joyful bit is the little ball of extra dough that we put in a bowl with olive oil to rise overnight and bake along with the breads. Topped with some cheese & garlic.

It makes the most gorgeous little focaccia for lunch sandwiches on a Monday.

The flour here is all organic spelt. We buy it in bulk and have again moved to making all our bread with it. It has so much flavour.
