My eye is playing up a bit today, but it's still much better than it was, so I've spent the morning cooking. I had leftover ingredients from my Rosh Hashanah feasts and now they're either in German almond biscuits (made with almond, honey and egg white) or in chicken soup. I tested a biscuit just before they were cooked, and they're lovely and soft and full of honey and almond. I should he beaten the egg whites much longer, but I ran out of oomph, so they're flat and crumbly and... entirely delicious. I may try not beating the egg whites fully again next time.

My chocolate and sweets were delivered for Conflux yesterday and I get my book edits very shortly (this week, but I need quick turnaround, so I'm hoping earlier rather than later), so October is happening. There will be honey cake for the booklaunch, I've decided, in honour of the silly season, but also in honour of a Jewish character.

All of this is brought to you by my cooking-fu, which has returned in its full glory. I am again a danger to everyone's waistlines.

And I must go, for I have an article to write before friends drop in.
