Post-vacation

I returned to school, to find that I lost 5 pounds, probably of muscle. From the two weeks of lounging about and not exercising. Weirdly counterintuitive, since I adhered to the family diet of cookies, pie, and curry for the entire vacation.

Now, watch as I get that back! Grrrrraaaaaah!


This post's theme word: pugilism, "boxing" (the sport).

Mango tart

I made this mango tart, using this recipe as a guideline. It was a Christmas present for A.

This post's theme word: diastrophism, "The process of deformation of the earth's crust that produces continents, mountains, ocean basins, etc." I witnessed some local diastrophism while baking the tart crust.
