It’s a tradition every year in our house for Ben to make hot cross buns on Good Friday. Today’s batch didn’t turn out so well. They’re hot cross focaccias rather than buns. He’s thinks the yeast may have been faulty. This year I tried making some sourdough hot cross buns and they turned out a little better than Ben’s but Ben’s probably tasted nicer as he put butter and sugar in his which I omitted from mine. My four buns are on the right next to the tray of “pancakes”.
We went out for dinner to Wagamama tonight to celebrate Elizabeth handing in her 20,000 word EPQ (Extended Project Qualification) report which is worth half an A-level. She has spent the last 6 months on it: creating the game then writing the report; it was a huge amount of work and a great deal of stress. Ben read it just before she handed it in and he said it’s better than some 4th year honours projects he’s read so I hope she gets a good mark for it. She’s so happy to have it done and dusted although it’s not quite finished as she still needs to give a presentation after the Easter holidays but that’s easy compared to everything else.
It’s nice that Wagamama offer brown rice with their dishes. I saw lots of rice dishes going to other customers but they all contained white rice which I find surprising. I asked Vlad, our waiter, if we’re the only ones to get brown rice and he replied that he always has the brown rice because it’s lower in sugar and higher in fibre. There’s hope for our young people yet! And Vlad looked a very healthy lad who works out.
I can’t be bothered extolling the virtues of fibre any more. People obviously don’t realise the importance which is why we have a largely sick and overweight population. And no, one apple a day is not going to give you sufficient fibre.
