Today is Monday...and for most people, that means returning to the grindstone, Facebook status updates that are summed up by a resounding "ugh," and larger than normal pots of coffee. For me, it means silence. Sweet, blessed silence.
I'm an introvert. I'm the kind of introvert that has risked a bladder infection (or two) rather than make my way to the bathroom, because I know a dozen or so church ladies are hanging out in the hallway.
Small talk is the silent killer.
Which reminds me of one of my favorite jokes: How many introverts does it take to change a light bulb? None. Having the light on, just invites people to come into the room to visit. (Been there!)
But of course, in my line of work, I can turn the extrovert on when I need to. And my Father and I did just that on Saturday when we participated in a local craft fair...he, selling his Sleeping Village Pottery creations... and I, selling my Just One Bite bits!
It was exciting...affirming...exhausting... and though neither of us will be paying off the house any time soon with what we made in sales...we DID make back the entrance fee. So. There's that. (You know, aim for the stars, I always say.)
And as a thank you to those who came out (as if ANY of you might ever find this blog?!) and a better-late-than-never kick off to pumpkin season, here's Just One Bite's Gluten Free Pumpkin Pie Spiced Cake, for one!
What you'll need:
2 Tablespoons almond flour (also known as almond meal)
1 Tablespoon rice flour (white or brown)
1/4 Teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 Teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 Teaspoon allspice
1 Teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 Teaspoon baking powder
dash of salt
3 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons oil (coconut or veggie)
2 Teaspoons pumpkin puree (or sour cream)
dash of vanilla
What to do:
Ideally, you mix the dry stuff together first, then add the wet ingredients. But I'm not expecting someone that is making a cake in the microwave, to care too much about ideals. So just mix it all together. Then pop it in the microwave for about a minute. Microwaves vary, so I'd keep an eye on it...but other than that...just enjoy!
And take a bit of silence when you can....
