I’m waiting at the vet to see if the white cat’s hundreds of $$ of treatments & meds worked. Evidently I am getting yet one more thing – a $30 squirt bottle of ear cleaning fluid – to torment her with when I go home. Sigh. John’s broken ankle still has been cheaper than the cat – although only in money – the pain and suffering factor is much higher for the human ankle than the cat’s ears infection.
I came home and made banana muffins. They’re good but the walnuts seem bitter somehow – maybe they’re just too dark – they were toasted already and then baked again atop the muffins. This can be corrected with jam – I tested.
Banana bran muffins – I ate that one
Last night I made the food52 chocolate-dipped pistachio shortbread cookies – I’d been trying to get to them for days. Had the butter sitting out to soften and the pistachios next to the toaster – a few honey glazed ones leftover from topping this panna cotta, and some additional trader schmoes roasted and salted – that were not nearly as green and pretty as the others, that I bought at the co-op. I made the cookies and shaped them on Thursday after Branford Marsalis, then baked them last night, and barely had time to dip them in the chocolate before we had to leave to see Life of Pi at the cheap theater – one crumbled because it was too warm, so we had to eat it right away.

Now I best get myself out for my walk, so I still have time to pay bills and grade this afternoon.
