Thanks Tish. I’m not a total hedonist; it was yogurt rather than cream. And the brownie was made with the pulp left over from juicing so it was wheat and dairy free and not quite as sweet as normal brownie (I’ve so lost my sweet-tooth). Lots of cocoa though, so it was very chocolatey. π
π and virtuous too. It was made from the pulp left over from making juice, so had no flour or dairy. It was incredibly moist and used up something I’d normally throw out.
π it was yummy — and I felt very virtuous about it. It’s made with the pulp left over from juicing fruit and vegetables. So not only is it relatively healthy (no flour or dairy and sweetened with honey), but it uses up stuff that I’d normally throw in the compost bin. π
Too true! ThereΒ΄s a lot to be learned from older generations, sadly this seems to be an outdated opinion and society in general doesn’t really value elder citizens anymore…
I wonder if the wheel will turn, as more and more baby boomers enter the ranks of the elderly. That’s a generation that demands to be heard, and is so huge it will be difficult to ignore.
On a more positive note, I read something recently about urban planners looking back to old (pre-car) city design to see if there are lessons to be learned for the post-car age. Maybe there is hope! xxxxx
That would make sense, both the baby boomer generation going to make their demands being heard and the looking back to pre car city design. And I agree, let’s not give up hope! π xxxxx
π and even better, they are made from fruit juice pulp (the stuff left over from juicing) and have no flour or dairy. The pulp is what makes them so moist. Ours were beetroot, carrot, apple and ginger flavoured (with lashings of added cocoa).
Looks like the ultimate in hedonism to me – figs and brownies. And is that cream too? All round yum.
