Got some bad and unexpected news today, was pretty grumpy for a while but then came home and did yoga and talked with friends and drank some wine and ate fava beans for the first time and overall feel much better.
I have been trying to eat healthier recently and therefore bake less. Today was obviously a special case, but I didn't want to completely sabotage myself, so I tried out a genre I've always been kind of dubious about: the semi-virtuous baked good. This apple cake has whole-wheat flour and brown sugar (although surely sugar from any source is just sugar?) and is gently sweet and comforting (and goes quite well with wine.) So I am calling it a success - not revelatory, but just what I needed tonight.
