Well darlings, I’ve not gone out to deal with the masses today.
Today was the day for a bit of baking and replenishing my syrups. While being my usual extra self of course.
I’ve made two loaves of molasses brown bread, a batch of brownies, a batch of scones, and have two batches of pumpkin rolls rising now.
While all that’s been going in and out of the oven, the stovetop has been equally active.
Lavender, chamomile, and elderberry syrups are cooling. Coffee and lavender lemonade concentrates are bottled and stored. Orange, coffee and brown sugar liquers are mixed and stored to steep for their potency to the side as well.
The kitchen smells amazing at least, and my partner has been adorable helping me. Granted his job has mostly been doing the bending and looking after our niece while I’m working in the kitchen.
See I’m not always dealing with horrid people in my hometown. Some days I stay home!
