Distinctly equivocal recommendation of the day

I have experienced for several days, as I write, Mr Branson's dictum [a diet of grass - sigmonster] and am able to report to you that… I shall adopt such a diet whenever I feel so inclined, or if ever necessity demands it.

Sour cream coffeecake: good, needs much less topping next time as what was supposed to be a burnt-sugar topping has sunk in (or rather, the cake has risen around and through the topping) and turned into a filling instead. Might try a lemon frosting to cut the sweetness a little bit, too. Vastly too much so the rest will be contributed to Dad & Hazel as it's Hazel-safe, no chocolate*.

Also, am packing and am slightly worried that I don't have enough to fill the suitcase and prevent things from rattling around. Hey-ho. I can always throw in a fleece jacket and another pair of shoes.

*One can only sympathize. And keep more chocolate for one's own self**.

**Estimable and anteanniversarial sibling: will try to get a bar or two from Rococo to share on the Cape: any suggestions? I'm thinking 1 x sea salt & 1 x cardamom, something like that.
