today’s activities and finds
I decided that the house should be filled with the smell of baking today. So, in honor of Easter I made hot cross buns. Seeing as cooked dried fruit squishes funny, I am not interested in eating them. Luckily I realized this before adding the currants to the dough. This means I set aside some dough and made it into cinnamon rolls. I shouldn’t brag, so I won’t tell you they are Fantastic (capital F).
Sadly in my current condition, the act of kneading left me pretty fatigued. Therapy? Hot espresso with cream, a cinnamon roll and some web-surfing. What did I find as I scoured the web?
- a new tshirt. OK, I wouldn’t wear it. but it made me laugh.
- an article about the dangers of Ibuprofen. um, dewd, I just saw the doctor about this!
- Perhaps the most disturbing find- the US FDA is changing their definition of chocolate allowing for Mocklate. Just as evil as it sounds. Food marketed as chocolate containing no cocoa butter. Pretty darn nuts considering such filth usually contains either partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats) or tropical oils (saturated fats). More importantly it tasteslike shit. I am becoming convinced the trans-fat police don’t actually taste food. Warning against butter and allowing mocklate.
