I baked chocolate chip cookie bars tonight, yay! With regular flour, and they turned out good. Yum.

Yesterday I tried out a recipe I found for a chocolate mug cake using green plantain flour. It turned out bitter and not sweet. I suppose I'll still eat it, but I hope the other recipes I found mask the bitterness better. I thought I'd read somewhere that plantain flour is bitter when tasted raw, but not after cooking/baking.

I emailed an organic sugar company to request them to consider selling their product in paper packaging like normal sugar, instead of in plastic bags and plastic jugs.

It's 4:45am and the outside temperature is still 78 degrees. In the month of May. Wow.

There's no environmental benefit to having vitamins in glass bottles if the sellers wrap it in tons of bubble-wrap to keep the glass from breaking. It may as well have been in plastic bottles. I didn't realize these vitamins were in glass bottles when I was ordering them, but still. Not to mention the plastic sheaths the manufacturers envelop the glass bottles in.

This is my new favorite yogurt: Cocojune Vanilla Chamomile

It's so light, fluffy, creamy. Mildly sweet and only slightly tangy.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention: it is sold in paper cups, not plastic!
The foil seals on top are a bit hard to pull open but I realized today that if I tear the foil tab in half down the middle, and then pull each half separately, it comes off easy.

Please STOP this trend of making ice cream container lids out of plastic!
They're harder to open; the plastic digs into the skin of my fingers.
Paper lids work just fine and are more bio-degradable.

The only explanation I can think of for this trend is that some people who don't know how to properly place the lids on their containers must have complained about the paper edges of the lids getting bent inwards.
