Remember last week when I made cupcakes & the new-to-me vanilla frosting for my boss's birthday? I never took a photo of them. But my boss texted me a thank you & attached a photo of the ones she took home for her family. Her favorite color is purple. Photo is 8 chocolate cupcakes with white frosting, the front 4 with purple sugar sprinkles. They're in 2 rows & sitting in a white plastic cupcake carrier. #food
Today's #ankarsrum challenge:
Making butter 🧈
Whole Foods donated 20-25 half gallons of heavy whipping cream to the food bank. About 15 were left at the end of my shift Tuesday. We were going to throw them out because it takes up space. I snagged one.
Back to the butter. 4 cups into the Ank with the roller, cranked it up to medium high. Took awhile but soon the buttermilk separated out. I strained it & mixed more, strained then washed the butter. Added salt.
Friends, I made BUTTER.
I want to be a vegetarian who still eats bacon everyday. What would that be called?

Cream puffs for the WIN. They're glutenous, so I only had a small piece of the pastry with a dab of whipped cream & it's so good. Crunchy & sweet. I'll definitely make these for my in-laws for our next family dinner. Froze most of the shells. Photo is 5 cream powder sugar topped cream puffs on a plate. #baking #pastry #food
I've never made choux pastry & I've never had a real eclair or cream puff before. (I mean, I've had an eclair at Dunkin Donuts, I don't consider that a "real" one.) Today, I made pate a choux & piped it into little cream puffs & longer eclairs. The eclairs are still baking but here's a preview of the puffs! Not perfect, but a good start. (I think?) I used a half recipe out of my textbook & it made a LOT of puffs. I'm going to be handing these out at the street corner, I think. #food #baking
Full day ahead. I need to make brownies for the camp counselors, make choux pastry and eclairs for the 1st time, prep pizza dough for tomorrow's dinner and if I have the energy, make gf sourdough dough to refrigerate overnight for baking tomorrow. Plus put in 3 hours of work, vacuum and wash the floors & pay attention to husband while the kids are out of the house. #food #adulting

Luci ☯⚛Shopping for a walking cane but I'm not sure where to look nor do I really have ideas. I like starry/galaxy aesthetic, high fantasy aesthetic and vampire aesthetic, but of course it should still also be ergonomic, that's the most important thing.
Do you maybe have ideas, recommendations or sites/sellers to suggest?
