ohhhh! The cake! It has purple icing! It's sugar free, dairy free and nut free - whoo-hoo! And Raw. And choc full of superfoods. Yum. My dh risked life and limb to go and pick it up. Well kinda. Snow, slidy roads are no bother to my dh... delivery man rang to say he was turning back to the depot about four miles from us and my face fell a bit and my dh said 'no bother' (his standard Scottish response) and off he went. Only when he'd gone I thought OMG, don't die on the roads collecting a frickin cake. It might be a good cake but probably not worth dying for. He was back in minutes though and the cake certainly looks lovely. What a hero.
He and the boys are off on a secret shopping mission right now which I think might involve a game of Mancala and some coconut water.
Snow arrived yesterday too. The hens with their tiny brains couldn't remember it from last year and were skittish but soon got the hang of pecking through snow. The Beauty's little baby brain couldn't remember the snow either which was pretty wonderful, she and I have just about the same amounts of enthusiasm for such things - crackers, chocolate, snow, birds.... just as it should be :)

Christmas Eve Crackers (with a dusting of snow)
Soak flax seeds in bowl of water overnight so it all becomes a gloopy expanded blob of flax-water. And in a good sprinkle of gojiberries and mix. Pour onto lined sheets and dehydrate (for me this took about 16 hours). Mix coconut butter/oil with some agave and raw cacao powder, chlorella and mesquite. Stir until thick and spread on the dried crackers. Sprinkle a dusting of grated raw cacao butter and bee pollen on top and you're ready to tuck in...
