Keto Chocolate Cookies

I am magic! I made okay keto cookies with no recipe! I was more craving making cookies than cookies, and was prepared to end up with a gritty mess and having discovered something that doesn't make good cookies. These came out waaaaay better than they had any right to, tasting and feeling basically like brownies. I think this is due to the cocoa butter.

Here is the recipe:
When I say a scant quarter cup I mean I scooped some with a quarter cup measuring cup. So like, an unknown amount that is less than a quarter cup. I was skeptical of the erithritol for being way sweeter than sugar, the cocoa powder for being bitter, and the coconut flower for absorbing a million times its weight in liquid.

scant 1/4 cup coconut flour
scant 1/4 cup cocoa
almost no salt
4 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 tbsp cocoa butter
scant 1/4 cup erithrytol sweetener
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 Egg

Combine dry ingredients by themselves and wet ingredients by themselves, starting with the fats, and then add the dry to the wet, stir, scoop onto a lined tray and bake at 350.

San Francisco Skyline in Oil

Middle Harbor Shoreline Park has a ton of interesting industrial views. Cranes, the long overpass-like approach of the bridge, tons of cargo containers. It was hard to pick one. But the Bay bridge curving into the San Francisco skyline pulled me in.

As you can see, it was an aggressively gray day.

A Rainbow from Black, White, Yellow, and Red

 My first two paintings of the Zorn palette were rather dark. I knew from swatching when I first heard of the palette 6 months ago that there were more possibilities. But I could not get them. So I took trying to paint from life out of the equation and just mixed a simple rainbow.

This rainbow is so calm and balanced!
