Not the best photos cuz the lighting is bad but I present... cake!
Hosted a cake decorating party at my place today. It was a lot of fun.
I made chocolate for the first time. 😁
Ten years ago, I planted a seed that grew a tree that produced 3 pods that produced seeds that I fermented, dried, roasted, peeled, added sugar and ground into chocolate paste. It's delicious. The original tree where I sourced the seed that grew my tree was covered by lava in 2018.

Today has been a long #day as few representatives from Fill the Empty Stomachs Farming Initiative spent their day helping put one of the local #farmers in her #garden. Together we harvested sacks of maize at which some were donated to our #food store to feed the most #vulnerable children in our society.

There are sadly often a lot of labour abuses in cashew harvesting and processing, so we always buy #Fairtrade. In the UK a good brand is https://chooseliberation.com/
#WhatVegansEat, because I seem to have somehow accidentally gone from a bee sex shitposting account to a vegan cooking account over the weekend so I may as well lean into it. After all the discussion of dahl I was going to make one, but by the time I got round to thinking about it my wife had already started making a tofu and cashew stir fry so we had that instead.

A friend gave me a chunk of squash from an enormous one she couldn’t finish. I don’t know what variety (now need to find out) but when roasted it was sweet and tasted like chestnut. So I pureed it and made spiced muffins with a maple glaze. I think this is how I’d like to eat all my squash now!

Today's baking adventures include a french onion sourdough loaf.
Did a slow caramelization of the onions, now gonna mix them into the dough with swiss cheese and a little thyme.
Picked up some nice tuna and avocados at home were at perfect stage so put them together for #lunch . Left the miso out - just clear soup osumashi, and rice and seaweed salad to round out the meal
Avocado had a minced half jalapeño and chopped scallions, cilantro, and tuna was mixed a touch of soy, chili oil, mirin, wasabi and dried green shiso - black white sesame seeds and scallion whites garnish
