Not so lazy, after all
Mar. 26th, 2025 09:25 pmI had planned a lazy day. What I got in the end was a rather busy day, but that was (partially) my fault.
I started with washing my hair, which was overdue. Then I cooked for two days - not such a hard work, just fiddly, what with peeling the mushrooms and chopping the ham and all that. Pasta Bolognese (with Spätzle instead of spaghetti because we like our noodles to be substantial) turned out very yummy. So, to work off some calories, we went for a walk. It went really well, so we decided to go to the corner coffee for breakfast tomorrow, assuming the weather will cooperate.
My friend Evie had mercy with me and delivered my eggs in the afternoon. Inspired by that fact, I spontaneously decided to bake the Nutella bunnies today instead of tomorrow. Mind you, this is a recipe that I make every single year for Easter. I even made it with 30 kids in the Hort. Never had any problems. Today, my dough turned out a disaster. It crumbled so much that I couldn't even roll it out. Since this has been the second such disaster in a row, I strongly suspect that something is wrong with the package of flour I'm currently using. For tomorrow's baking session I've opened a new package; I'll use up this one for cooking.
To save the yummy (not to mention pricey) dough, I shaped little balls and eggs of it by hand and baked them anyway. I'll give them some chocolate icing and coloured candy decoration tomorrow, to save face. But to prove that the recipe actually works, here are several pics of the Nutella bunnies I've made since 2015.
Writing-wise I managed to write the first part of the hunting scene for my current WIP. I'm fairly content with it. I also decided to post to AO3 a funny scene to an as-yet unrealized Andromeda/Star Trek TNG crossover on its own, just for a good laugh.
No actual crafting was done today. I did put my 6 of my coloured styrofoam eggs into their respective baskets, but that's all. Originally, I planned to make three more baskets of the toilet rolls I had pilfered from the waste paper bin yesterday but couldn't bring up the energy for that roughly 6-minutes-long work. ;)
