I have ridden parts of the area but on a night ride so it was great to see it all in day light. Beautiful area. I saw my first snow drops too.

CC2 Speedy Goth Feb 2021 8:01pm, 20 Feb 2021 4,135 posts	0 CC2 Speedy Goth I attempted to create my own recipe for protein mug cake. It wasn't awful but needs some tweaks. Reducing the SR flour to include vegan protein powder meant it didn't rise as much as I wanted, so I'll add baking powder next time, and I don't think I need a full tbsp of oil. That's a whole lot of calories and fat. I'll try half a tbsp and perhaps half a tbsp of water. The goal is 3:1 carb to protein ratio, without having too much sugar (I used granulated Stevia) or fat, so that it could count as a recovery treat after a long or hard run.

I haven't used it yet though because I'd already hoovered this morning and though I'm excited about it, I'm not that excited. I tried a Newt recipe for dinner - pasta with prawns, tomato, chargrilled courgette and chilli. I've also invented a Newt pudding. I call it 'Philadelphia on a biscuit.'

The sixth running of Do a New Thing for Spring

Lent has a special and specific meaning to Christians but has become an secular season of denial and hair shirting that serves no positve purpose. No chocolate, no booze, no -er - other stuff.

Why not treat the build up to Easter - as a chance to celebrate and embrace NEW THINGS - that's what spring is about after all.

The first few pages of the thread give more ideas.
