I read a beautiful post on Sarah Bessey’s blog about what was saving her. She invited everyone to participate, and I am late to the party, because I always am what with one thing or another, but here I am at last, and I bear cake. What is saving me is this: wonderful blogs, and

Husband has decided he wants a shoggoth – not quite the Lovecraftian version, but the edible version, which is actually fairly close 😛 Anyway, that is what the Sparkly One calls it, and I have adopted the name. So, I am researching shoggoth-making, and we have our first little experiment sitting in a jar on
Totally random, but I have to share, because I’ve just made up a new batch and it really is awesome. I always intend to use this stuff 2-3 times a week, and in reality end up using it about once a fortnight, if that – but whenever I do, my skin practically glows the next
