15:08 - pork cracklings and decadence! (Well, I was excited until the third piece - they're mainly salted and very, very, very dry.)
15:38 - black coffee and matcha-and-almond cookies. The cookies were delicious - and you can really taste the matcha too! And some sour cream and chives crisps.

So many unforeseen events and activities yesterday, and I didn't get to cook. Again. I'm so excited about making my pasta but my anticipation of making it keeps getting thwarted.
And I didn't get the chance to post these too.

Made a coffee with milk first, but couldn't handle the taste of the milk (which wasn't expired - I double-checked) so I poured that away and made a black.

And a coffee - which is a must.
