Be Excellent To Each Other

Noice.

All the cool people make their own burger buns.

Hi5!

Dug up some potatoes today. Very vibrant and they keep the colour through cooking. I made some wedges.

I mostly grew these because I knew they’d amuse Bean.

What do they taste like? Potatoes?

Yes. There is no discernible taste difference from a normal potato. They are rich in anthocyanin, too, so they’ve supposedly got some health benefits in comparison to a normal potato, as well as being a bit fun

They go more blue than purple when cooked. I should have taken some pictures of the wedges but we ate them. I have some left so might do in the next few days. I did see someone made mash from them and that just looked grey, so I’d not recommend that so much.

They look fun! I've used purple carrots before, but I've never seen a purple potato

It’s Bean’s birthday this weekend, and he asked for a Jurassic World themed cake, which I’m currently making, but last night I made a few chocolate biscuits to go with the theme.

They're awesome!

Perhaps this says something about me, but my second thought was a little macabre


I cannot stress enough how amazing those biscuits are - they look like they must have taken hours of painstaking work!

Bloody HELL, Mimi! They’re too good to eat!

A thick set fruit jelly (like a fruit leather) might work for something like that, but introducing any kind of moisture after the fact would run the risk of affecting the icing/biscuit beneath. They aren’t for a party as such, as Bean changed to a new school this week (not for any negative reason — we have a three school system here where infant and junior schools are totally separate entities) so he doesn’t know his classmates well enough or long enough to get party invites organised in time.

He’s got one in his packed lunch today as a little surprise

Haha, thank you. I iced them whilst watching TV, so they aren’t perfect, but neither are Dino bones, amirite? They’re a chocolate biscuit with the bones iced on, so the icing to biscuit ratio shouldn’t be too overwhelming.

Give yourself a break, they look amazing!

Those are fantastic Mimi!

I'll take 20!
