Celebratory muffins for AppleScript

Posted on by

Last week, DssW launched a new preview of Power Manager 4. This preview introduced AppleScript support. To celebrate we made chocolate and walnut muffins.

AppleScript is never easy to implement. I have been planning our AppleScript implementation for more than a year. That planning paid off and the work involved was pleasantly stress free. As ever, a few esoteric aspects of AppleScript’s requirements caused moments of wonder but nothing requiring a change of course.

The muffins were a delicious well-deserved treat.

Homemade bread makes me happy

I continue to miss the fresh bread from our time in Lyon. Rather than bemoan the quality of our local offerings, we decided to return to making our own bread.

I bought a bread maker many moons ago. The machine is a traditional Russell Hobbs model. Nothing fancy but capable of more than I immediately need. Since then prices have dropped, and Aldi is now selling a bread maker for 79 AUD. I suspect you could find an even less expensive model.

A single loaf tended to get me through a week’s worth of lunches. I was single then, but even with two of us a dense loaf is enough for our working day lunches.

We are currently experimenting with soy and linseed variations. So far so good.
