The gingerbread I made which looked absolutely gorgeous after it came out of the oven, managed second place in the work bake-off this morning, which means that I get to bake again in a couple of weeks. I am currently debating between:
Lemon, cranberry and poppy-seed cupcakes; and
Italian parsley & coriander pesto, hummus, olive oil and freshly baked bread
Both would do nicely. Or I might do something else entirely.
I'm quite stoked about placing, though. I look forward to baking again.
My hands have been achy all day today after I wormed the cat yesterday. They have been covered in plasters for most of the day so I can actually use the fingers where the scratches are. The ones where she hooked her claw in the palm of my hand and it got caught are the worst, those and the ones where she got my cuticle.
Round 1, I think, eventually went to me. Rounds 2 & 3 went to Jemima and she retired to the hardest to access corner under my bed and I went away for a while. Rounds 4 & 5 went to me in relatively quick succession after I was reminded of the trick of putting clothes pegs at the back of her neck on the loose skin. Even so, I came away with yet more marks after the last two rounds. We are both rather relieved that this doesn't have to happen again for quite a while.
I have taken most of the plasters off this evening to get them into air contact and have been putting on bactraban. Even so, some of them still itch. Oh, the joys of having a cat.
With the weekend and the playtest of the larp over, I am really quite tired and have been crashing rather early. I almost think that I could go to sleep now. Instead, I think I'll go watch something. Saiyuki Gunlock, perhaps.
