Dessert with a sprinkle of beauty.
I have to go to the hospital again later. *sigh*. Supposedly it’s to see how I’m getting on with my acupuncture and back problems at the “pain management clinic”, but in reality they still haven’t given me an acupuncture appointment and he just wants to know what my vitamin d levels are so he can…
I got my new cookbooks yesterday! Well nearly all of them, just waiting on my King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion as it took a couple of extra days to dispatch.
