Exploring: got a new drone. Old one is no longer software supported, and the batteries not only cannot hold a charge but they became warm and developed rounded sides while charging. 😳 New one comes in a case that holds the drone, controller, 3 batteries, charger, and accessories — and could fit in our glove compartment. (The box for the old drone could hold ten+ of the new one.) AND the camera is awesomely better. I could go into more detail [“Oh dear goddess no!” exclaimed Thalia] but let’s just say I hope to have fun exploring its capabilities, in our neighborhood and on travels.
Specifically, sitar music, in a 50+ year flashback to first hearing Ravi Shankar during my first year of college. Today I watched his daughter, Anoushka, performing on YouTube.
And moments ago, while walking our dog, I observed a limpkin (local wading bird that eats apple snails) approach a mother Canada goose that has been incubating her eggs.
Baking, baking...I opted to impart my pound cake secrets to my sister on Sunday morn. It was a good time to catch up. Additionally, I was able to give her some plant cuttings, a mower, and a weed whacker.
Speaking of Middle Eastern treats, I want to try my hand at muhallabia(sp?), which is a coconut-like custard with orange blossom water.

We might need your help if Henny goes on a solo rabbit hunt again!
Music, Cal.

Natural curiosity met with equanimity.
😁 Connection! Have we forgotten how much fun it is to learn about one another?
From the looks of this comment thread... connection is making a comeback.

Do you have a recipe? Perhaps we could both make the treat... and you would consider a collaborative post on BFN about our experience?
Rice flour is really hard to bake with, IMHO.
I worked up a sweat kneading the dough into a glutinous ball. It is now refrigerating “overnight”. Plan to bake later today.
What have you baked with rice flour?
I tried to make some cookies very similar to what you made but they came out a little bit powdery.
