unicornduke1. I've been watching the great british baking show professionals and while interesting to watch actual professionals do very cool desserts, the joking goofy tone of the hosts really doesn't work well with the extra serious contestants, who mostly ignore them or give them short answers.
2. I made lemon bars on sunday and they are incredibly delicious. The recipe is from America's test kitchen gluten free book #1 and it's just so good. I ate four of them on sunday along with oatmeal. This led to unpleasant consequences since those shouldn't be the only things consumed in a day.
3. wrist is almost 100% back to normal. I did knitting yesterday, a little spinning this morning and am currently knitting now. I also made a jig for heddle making and am currently through 60 of 210 heddles tied. I cut them all the other day, so just tying. Hilariously, I posted about tying heddles on my instagram and someone commented and said "hey you should check out this seller who makes heddle jigs" and I was like, why would I buy one when I already made one???? it was free because I already own a piece of smooth 2x4 and finishing nails. weird
4. Mara has very goopy ears and I think it's been bothering her. The vet gave me ear cleaner for her a month ago and I finally used it tonight and she was incredibly upset with me for doing that. She's also losing hair under her chin and has weird scabbies there which is unrelated. She's up to date on her heartguard/frontline and it looks more similar to last year when she had a skin infection on her side. She has a checkup for the pain pills continuing on Thursday anyway, so I'll be mentioning it. Only difference from last week that I've seen is she's a bit wobbly when she gets up, but not a ton more than she had been in the past. Still seems happy enough. Except when I clean her ears
5. we harvested cabbages today at work, the beginning of the cabbage epic. We planted approximately 2000 (small, 2-3.5lb) cabbages and they are ready to harvest. Probably only 1500 of them will actually produce marketable crop, but that's still a lot. I've been coordinating to take them to the regional food bank, estimated delivery to them on thursday will be 400 cabbages with the second harvest tomorrow.
