Thursday: walk, cookies, _Mr. Right Swipe_
Jun. 8th, 2023 03:14 pmToday in cookie:
1/2 cup cocoa nibs (500 calories)
1 cup hazelnuts (850 calories)
1/2 cup sugar (400 calories)
Some vanilla
1 egg (80 calories)
1830 / 14 = 130 calories per cookie. Should be gluten free, unless there’s something funny going on with your vanilla? Definitely free of milk products. _Obviously_ contains nuts and eggs. Because they don’t need a rise agent of any sort, you don’t need to worry about that bringing in problems. Sodium: 60 mg in the egg, and then it’ll be whatever got added to your hazelnuts, which I think in my case was none.
I’ll report back soon. I forgot to put baking potassium or anything like that in, so, adventure! They smell nice, tho.
ETA: They are excellent. Apparently, the baking potassium and similar is doing fuckall in cookies and so can be safely left out.
I walked with M.
I walked over to the school to retrieve A., however, R. got back from the transfer station in time to pick her up so I just caught a ride back to the house with them.
I texted with a niece about the possibility of taking the test to get a learner’s permit. I await her looking into it and deciding whether she is interested in this possibility.
ETAYA: I read _Mr. Right Swipe_ by Ricki Schultz. I _think_ this was recommended to me by K., as she says that one is listed in her kindle as “read”. It’s really good, altho closer to “chick lit” than “contemporary romance”, it has a deeply satisfying ending and is really, really, really emotionally involving. Set in Plantation, which is slightly west of Ft. Lauderdale, an area of Florida which I have never visited but know in increasing detail from maps, between Florida Man’s incident in DelRay Beach, and his sister’s condo in Pompano Beach, and my son’s friends who live in Boca Raton. The protagonist and her two besties and assorted additional characters work at a private school called “Wesson”, which cracked me up because I kept thinking of salad oil. One of the women is married with four kids; one is about to get married for the second time; the protagonist has been married in the past but is currently sarcastically and somewhat sullenly Not Dating. Her friends pressure her to use the Spark app to date again, and antics ensue. Oh, and there’s a Hot Substitute at the school, who crosses the protagonist’s path repeatedly as she is meeting and dating other men from the Spark app. The girls’ weekend is … amazing, in every respect, completely off the hook. In addition to being a first grade teacher, the protagonist is a writer, trying to get published, and her ability to actually write interacts throughout the book with her emotions in an entirely relatable way. Great stuff; totally loved it. This is _yet another_ bought it in 2017 and never read it book. I gotta remember to never try to cut back on reading novels again.
