This morning, I do not need to decide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That has been my mantra since I started the financial process which will ultimately lead me to … do I have a choice :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, having gone through a week or so of round and round and round and round, early May, and then realizing that I did not have to decide everything and needed to explore options …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I wake up, I tell myself: this morning, I do not need to decide. What I DO need to do is to enjoy this day, take care of myself and of Emmett: feed us, get us outside, teach and learn and do my work and my chores … and let the rest go. At the current time, all information is in the hands of the bank and I await THEIR decision, their request for more. Meanwhile, I choose to LIVE to the fullest in my little house in the woods with Emmett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new bun recipe: The Perfect Loaf Soft Sourdough Potato Buns <\/font><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first round … ok, but not as soft as the sweet potato buns that I have been making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Still, great flavor, they hold together for a burger or other “sloppy” fixin’s and I will give it another shot and see if a 2nd go turns out different … i.e., was it baker’s error? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great riff on tiramisu! I saw it on Instagram and oh, my…

Raspberry Pound Cake Tiramisu from GirlVsDough <\/font><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

So. Using pound cake vs lady fingers, a mix of mascarpone-whipped cream, raspberry jam, fresh raspberries … yes, please!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is my second version. This was on Memorial Day weekend and I was out of mascarpone so made my own which turned out a bit runny … so combined it with some cream cheese and the resulting texture and flavor was right on with the original mascarpone-whipped cream combo! I also used thawed, frozen raspberries vs fresh. I am sure fresh would be prettier, but flavor-wise … it was good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, it is a mix of creamy, raspberry jammy filling between layers of pound cake which after a stint in the refrigerator becomes a wonderful thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then … I have been growing micro greens and sprouts for fresh greens, but stepped up my game …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eatin’ good here and taking things one day at a time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
