This morning was planned for PT but Therapist Emil got stuck in Philadelphia with something that overran its schedule. So I got a free morning.
Which I put to good use, baking a cake and roasting those chicken drumsticks.
This is Beatrice's lemon cake with some changes. I didn't have lemon zest so I used lime zest. Saved on eggs by using aqua faba, quarter cup per egg. And as you see, it came out fine
Very tender because it uses oil -- I used avocado, which is very good at lightening baked goods. And the lime zest worked lovely. Nice flavor. See the dense crumb here, where I sliced the (cook's privilege) first piece.
A couple of neighbors will help me with this. And thank you Beatrice!
The drumsticks took advantage of the stove already being hot, just oil, some ground kosher salt with seasonings, and basil and salt.
This will be good when I need a drumstick with this evening's crisp roasted cheesy potato dice.
Lovely gentle rain overnight for the first houseplant I put out, the coleus swinging and looking happy.
The sage is budding up now, before bursting out in purple blossoms.
And buds are starting on the rose which I think was planted by birds
I'm not seeing any signs of life on the hibiscus, but this time last year I didn't either and it bust out some great flowers later.
Happy day everyone, bust a move, it's Friday!
