- what it is to be a "good" mother
- the food I eat (in my dairy and wheat free world); and
- homecomings
Fortuitously, I baked muffins for a celebratory morning tea today. Golden Harvest Muffins, to be precise. So, perhaps we can consider this the first food post. They are made with quinoa flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, sweet potato, brown sugar, maple syrup, orange juice and an egg. And they were as good as they sound. So good, in fact, that I had to rescue the last two (in my defense, I had one) so that I could make a record they ever existed.
True to form, whenever I have guests I attempt a recipe that I have never made before. This adds just that little extra spice of anxiety I need to be at my sharpest for when the first knock on the door sounds. Even more, I didn't have the exact right ingredients for this never-before-tried recipe and so I had to wing it with what I had in the fridge. Why I do this, repeatedly, over many years, I don't know. However, it all worked out and they were received with open arms by guests, babies, and OTLs alike. Phew.
