Market this morning included crusty Italian loaf, rich red cherries, sugar snap peas and salad vegies. Also eggs. Many eggs. I did some crystal-gazing, you see, and decided that I needed eggs for baking and eggs for making latkes and, generally, eggs for the season. This is despite the fact that 25% of my very full freezer contains cake for visitors. My way of handling anxiety is by cooking, and this is going to be an anxious week. I want all my news out of the way, quickly. Mind you, I also want it to be good news. I can bribe it with two types of cake...

I looked at my freezer and realised I need friends to eat cake for me. I am not a big eater-of-cake, but I do find it comforting to cook!

Tonight's dinner is chicken/spinach sausages in salad with some kind of chutney or salsa. Or chicken sausage sandwiches. It depends on whether I have a desire for healthy food or unhealthy in four hours time.

And today is all about food and rest and marketing and catching up on stray TV (namely 3 episodes of 'Constantine'), because I'm oddly in between deadlines. Tomorrow is back to normal, but possibly with added baking.

I was going to be all kinds of grouchy here, but I just realised I have a novel that needs Ms Grouch. I go to be sarcastic on paper! Sorry you get to miss out. I promise to grouch some other time, when this novel isn't lurking. To make up, Canberra friends who need cake, I can feed you it today. I cannot promise a tidy household or even washed dishes, but I myself am wearing clothes (which is a good start) and I have cheesecake.
