Shiny new thread, continuing from here

A diary thread for our daily meals, to record, share, glean menu inspiration and chat, but no judging each other’s food choices.

@AwkwardSquad I assume the yoghurt cake was part of your baking spree, what else did you make?
Me today: B: granola with prunes, banana and yoghurt, toast and marmite, black coffee.
L: cheese and tomatoes on toast, tea, a bit of raspberry Danish.
Mid-afternoon: tea, chocolate biscuit (yes, it was Extremely Chocolatey).
Supper: veg crumble, broccoli and courgette; a satsuma.
I've got a vile cold and have spent the whole day flopping about at home.

@Bloodybridget it was! It’s supposed to be a traditional French recipe, super easy and simple. Except this is my third attempt and it still hasn’t come out quite right - there was an undercooked layer. I am determined to get it right so my next attempt will be in a bundt tin. It’s sheer stubbornness as it’s such a plain cake, you’d question whether it’s worth the effort.

I also made pistachio chocolate macaroons which always come out right and are delicious.
