What a week! 📚After a five month wait I found out that I've got a studentship to study for a PhD in the autumn (that's fees, expenses and a monthly stipend paid!) 😷I had another relapse with covid-like symptoms, six weeks after the initial acute phase (I hear that these 'aftershocks' are common). 🍫These gluten-free brownies that Maya made... so damn good. 💻Getting to video chat with some gorgeous and pioneering neurodivergent women (I am so lucky to have some truly incredible and inspiring friends).

Muffins make everything better. FACT. 😋🧁 In a post a year ago I referred to #resiliencemuffins (I don't usually like the term resilience but combined with homemade muffins it's a whole different story) and I'd like to see that hashtag grow, like a perfectly risen muffin. So, you know, if you make muffins and they make everything better please consider hashtagging them so I can see them! 😋🧁 Also, we eat a lot of muffins in this house but sugar and gluten do not do me any favours, so if you want to switch up your favourite muffin recipe you can easily a) half the sugar, b) use gluten-free flour, c) sneak in helpful stuff like collagen or adaptogens.

Last night we burned driftwood collected last autumn and dried in the baking sunshine over the last few weeks. No smoke, beautiful flame patterns and perfect heat for toasting marshmallows off last year's trimmed apple tree branches. The stars twinkled, the bats played and it was quiet with no planes (we live almost under the flight path for nearby Bristol airport). We slept well.

Has anyone else found that their appetite has increased during lockdown? I need comfort food all the goddamn time! Rich stews, homemade sourdough, muffins, roasts, curries, chocolate (so much chocolate). Also egg fried rice which I've made here with black rice and served with tamari and sesame oil drenched Swiss chard, and @barrelandbone kimchi which is hella delish.

This is a perfectly legit breakfast choice right? All the essential nutrients? Yep, I guess you're right.

Some blossom for those of you who are stuck inside right now. I hope you have sunshine shining through your windows and houseplants to sing to ❤️

I've finally got into a good rhythm of gluten-free sourdough baking, mostly due to letting the sponge rise overnight and then proving the dough on a sunny windowsill. This last batch has been declared my best yet! Generously packed with pumpkin seeds and molasses, this stuff is utter heaven eaten warm and liberally spread with cultured butter.

I am interrupting my usual broadcast of baked goods to introduce you to one of our neighbour's cats. Except that I can't remember whether this particular floofball is Marley or Bob. They both have foot fetishes, this one is content to roll over your feet purring loudly and waving his insanely fluffy tail in your face while you sit on the doorstep with your morning cuppa. The other one prefers to lick your toes and I'm not really down with that. If you want to see a contented purring cat have a look at my story.

Uncertainty sucks. Aallll the mood swings currently going on here. But I figure that cake can only improve things. I can't offer emotional support and beautiful, heartfelt words because I find both insanely difficult. But I can make crumbly, messy cake for my family and send you lot all the warmest, squeeziest virtual hugs. Playing to my strengths here. Peace out you beautiful weidos! 😘
