Some confusion re rice size and grapes
Jan. 7th, 2020 07:43 amYesterday I made a first attempt at mince pie butter tarts, and they were good! I triangulated from about ten different gf pastry recipes and wound up at 3:1 (bob’s ap gf) flour:(country crock almond plant) butter with a pinch of salt and enough coconut water (the thin liquid from a separated can of coconut milk) to come together. Warmed the coconut solids with brown sugar, more butter, and cornstarch for the butter tart mixture. Parbaked the shells, filled with mince, topped up with goo, baked thirty minutes or so. I gave P one of the nine and ate the rest of them two at a time throughout the day. Next time I’ll add nuts and try baking a bit hotter.
Took another look at Villanelle with the assistance of the entire syntax guide, and got a lot farther. Submitted a pile of questions to the project.
Sewed the piping to the top/bottom panel of the final seat cushion, ready for the zip panel.
I’ve been reading Finder by Suzanne Palmer, and so far it is engaging, if perhaps a little smug.
