Just awoke with a start as I noticed what appeared to be blue icing on the side of my right hand. This was confusing to me, as yesterday was probably the first in a while NOT to include the production of baby shower cookies. Everyone is required by the City of Austin to have a baby this spring, clearly, and so I’m slinging more of these, less cake.
Cookies made for Claire's shower
[Sidebar: that babycookie is eerily reminiscent of Edvard Munch, no?]
With a sniff, I discerned that the mystery goo was in fact aloe vera slathered in haste before bed, following a hand-sear incurred while cooking artist-formerly-known as roommate grassfed beef tenderloin. I have to say, it was worth it – as a non red meat eater, I have to practice integrating it into my menus or I will fall completely out of technique.
Keep your pants on, people – I’ll post The Bee Cake photos tomorrow.
