Cooking

The Leaning Tower of Laundry has been reduced to a smallish pile of rubble, and there is fresh, handmade bread rising in the kitchen.  Parcels arrived from Fiona and my parents, it's pouring with rain outside, and tonight is the Alpha course celebration dinner.  Dana Engleman is cooking vast quantities of chilli for tonight, his recipe includes cocoa, peanut butter, and honey, as well as the more conventional stuff, it tastes wonderful.

Priced up the bracelet yesterday, got the last numbers from the Rock Shop.  I wasn't expecting carnelian to be quite that expensive ($11 to $15 for a 16 inch strand), but the dyed red jade looks like it will do the job well.
