I have no idea what I did this weekend.


I vaguely remember multiple trips to large home improvement stores, a fair bit of solo child-wrangling while my husband worked on the tiles in the kitchen and played gigs, some cleaning, some grocery shopping, etc... yawn.

The one very memorable thing I did was to bake this carrot cake. I used olive oil (I find the olive flavour disappears with baking but makes a cake taste richer), cut out some of the sugar and tossed in a few raisins instead. I also added some cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger. The cake was a-fucking-mazing. Seriously. Between the husband and I, we ate half of it in one sitting after dinner. I wanted more later and I'm pretty sure someone else snuck some more later. It was dead easy to make and, for those who care, contains no grains at all, not that you miss them whatsoever.

Damn, now I'm regretting not finishing the rest for breakfast.
