Morning all.
6.9 this morning
Got rid of the leftover cakes at a coffee meet yesterday but didn’t inflict my attempts at low carb stollen on them.
It looks ok if you excuse the ridiculously ott amount of marzipan because I misread the recipe, but it’s both over and under baked at the same time.
What I was aiming for… (recipe on sugar free Londoner)

What I achieved with a double bake to try and rectify the undercooked issue and with clearly far far too much marzipan!

Saw the folks last night for dinner. Played UNO Flip. Laughed lots. Mum asked if I was eating enough. SIL asked what the magic was to my weightloss and I said being much more mindful about what goes in my mouth, significantly lower carb, exercise etc. They do not know about the Mounjaro.
Decided to bin Christmas Day and I’ll go over there on the 27th for dinner instead.
Bit stressed about pushing the police for an in person meeting in the new year to see exactly where we’re at regarding things as it’s a year since the case was reopened and we don’t appear to be moving forward at anything more than a glacial pace.
Off to Cuba this afternoon by way of Carlos Acosta’s: Nutcracker in Havana. It’s had fantastic reviews across the board and I’m looking forward to it. It’s Tchaikovsky’s music given a Cuban twist and the whole thing is set in Havana so that should be fun!
Have as good a day as you can today folks and folkess’s!
