Today it didn't rain...

Today it didn't rain. The wind speed was only 10mph. We hardly knew ourselves!

I have a few days off work - and spent my morning beta-ing for the_winterwitch - which was so much more fun than work! (Happy birthday again, by the way, Winterwitch.)

D-d is organising a charity 'cakes with your coffee' thing at work tomorrow and need some marscapone so she could make this cake. I volunteered to go and get her some, and took advantage of the day to take this small sign of hope;




I decided to bake for her, for the pleasure of it. So I donated some of the Triple Ginger Chocolate Brownies that I've made before. And also some peanut butter and chocolate chip cake. This has used up a whole lot of bits and pieces from my store cupboard - really useful.

The peanut butter and choc chip cake was from a recipe book I hadn't used before - so when I said on Sunday I might even manage more than one new recipe this month I've done it already - before the end of the first week!
