Spent a solid 90 seconds pacing the kitchen trying to locate the source of the smoke smell. I was half-convinced I was having a stroke (or the house was about to burn down) but it turned out that @tomsenior.bsky.social had just brewed a pot of lapsang souchong.

Possibly the most glorious revelation from this trip to Copenhagen is the existence of terbikes, a poppy seed-encrusted, marzipan-stuffed pastry that I have – alas! – never seen in the UK.

I just described my idea for a macaron experiment to @tomsenior.bsky.social and he said it left him feeling 'unsettled in my soul'.
No peanut butter and bacon jam macarons for him, then.

Landed in Porto and within 90 minutes was perched in the most glorious, buzzy food court with a pastel de nata and the best Porto tonico of my life. I am nothing if not highly efficient.

Post-norovirus and craving salty snacks, I made a batch of marshmallow and crushed ready-salted crisp treats I saw on TikTok.

Making banana bread for this week's breakfasts and calling it meal prep.
