She&#8217;s doing better, so we caught up on things in her life (and mine) and figured out what our next steps look like for ongoing initiate discussion. Yay! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wednesday, <\/strong>I had the beginnings of a migraine, and an online class (Jason Miller&#8217;s Sorcerer&#8217;s Guide to Good Fortune). Due to the migraine, my retention of info was, um, not great, so I need to find time to watch the call again, and work through the information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thursday, <\/strong>I stayed home from work (see also: migraine), did a couple of errands in case Saturday&#8217;s weather was worse than it turned out to be (we spent most of the week with the forecast alternating between &#8220;dusting&#8221; and &#8220;5-8 inches, snow all day Saturday&#8221; and ended up with 3&#8243; Saturday evening).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Friday: <\/strong>The meeting I was planning to be at on Friday was cancelled (migraine postdrome appreciated that&#8230;) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saturday<\/strong>, I made cream scones, and figured out an adaptation for them that will make them a better ritual food (I have a strong preference for ritual foods to have a deliberately transformative element done by something living &#8211; so yeast, happy pro-biotic bacteria in yogurt, or honey all count. For this I was figuring out how to sub in the honey.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetbytes.com\/cranberry-orange-cream-scones\/\">this cream scone recipe from Budget Bytes<\/a>, a honey calculator (instead of the sugar, use 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons honey, don&#8217;t reduce the cream, and add 1\/8 teaspoon of baking soda) and used chocolate chips and orange extract for the flavour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They came out nice and light. I like bread baking, but it&#8217;s a larger time commitment &#8211; these take about 20 minutes to do, and it&#8217;s a single bowl and measuring tools cleanup. And unlike a lot of scone recipes, you don&#8217;t have to fuss with cutting in tiny bits of butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">This week <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Saturday, <\/strong>we have Dedicant class, talking about symbols and correspondences, which is often an interesting class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week Tuesday: I had a catch up dinner with my initiate, who has had a bunch of health issues, and has been focusing on those.
