So, I've discovered new music today thanks to fullupwithfire 's brother. Caravan Palace is bringing me a lot of joy right now and I hope you all are having something similar in your life bringing you pleasure of some kind.

I was on early shift today and instead of wasting my afternoon procrastinating, I picked up some groceries I needed/wanted and then came home and was productive!

I not only cooked the rhubarb I got on special the other day, but I cooked it in a new way (roasted it) and then made muffins with it that taste pretty good! Food waste was avoided and now I have muffins to share with my colleagues at work tomorrow!

Yay productivity!

Your roast rhubarb and muffins sound amazing. :)

[glinda]

Thanks! They're pretty good! (Need more rhubarb though, I didn't want to overdo the fruit, but I think they could have stood to have a bit more.)

If you ever feel like sharing the recipe, I am all ears! I love rhubarb and made strawberry-rhubarb crisp last week using this recipe I found online. So good. :)

[glinda]

Ooooh that does look tasty, I want to get more rhubarb and try it now! :D

I got my recipe out of the guardian, I was looking for inspiration and had never tried roasting rhubarb before. The recipe is for more rhubarb than I had so probably if you use the amount it says in the recipe you will have muffins with sufficient rhubarb!

well, I've spent the whole day going "HOW IS IT FRIDAY ALREADY" at irregular intervals ... while doing my usual Friday routine. Sigh. I'm not ready. I was going to try to wash a few clothes, but hah, oh look, period turning up again.

On the other hand, my garden is filled with flowering plants and I'll probably have more zucchini to harvest this weekend and maybe the first okra before Monday?

I feel like Caravan Palace is a band I periodically need to re-discover, but am always delighted by; electroswing is a fantastic genre in general, and Caravan Palace is the example that always comes most easily to mind.

I finally got my new debit card! I still need to activate it (executive functioning? what's that?), but going into the bank and asking about it on Monday got it to me within a week, which is delightful and very useful. :)

I also wrote ~1k of an exchange fic, after spending a week going "what am I even going to write?" because I had like, either no ideas or too many ideas until I started writing, and then I found an idea that I really enjoy and now just need to, ah, write the beginning of instead of just the end...
