I have been meaning to do some Insightful posting on bushfires, and why we need to pay attention to the nutbags who say the Victorian abortion laws caused the bushfires. But these past few days, I haven't been sleeping well, and I'm too tired to compose insightful posts. They wouldn't come out insightful. And it's not even 9PM.

However, we re-started the baronial cooking group today, and made an AWESOME beef and bread stew. The carrot and leek dish needs some more work, but definitely has more potential than honeyed carrots.

I also had some black sesame snaps, which tasted rather like coffee.
