Using what’s already in the fridge
A simple meal made from what’s on hand. After eating, I take a book from the shelf and move to the sofa. Socks on. A blanket pulled close. The rest of the day can wait.

Homemade Madeleines
Baking madeleines again
I like the time spent baking, so I bake. I like bread made at home, so I bake. Sometimes going out to buy it feels like more work, so I bake.

Chocolate,
matcha,
vanilla.Someone even asks for the chocolate coating to be only halfway dipped.
