I am making this a declaration

Tonight, I will be able to sleep without being woken up by a faulty smoke alarm and an agitated dog. For the fourth night in a row.

The alarm is wrapped in two towels now and sitting in the car. It cannot escape.

And we still have one functioning alarm. I trust. *eyes it warily*

I made the baked beet chips. They were ... okay? They were sweet and salty and earthy and quite edible but like the kale chips, I don't see what the fuss is about. Mum agrees on this one.

However I also made these biscuits:

I Want to Marry You Cookies

Which seems like a bad name for biscuits I'm sharing with my mother but whatever. Dark and white chocolate, with some oats, vanilla and cinnamon, chewy on the inside with a crispy, almost meringue-like exterior. They are delicious. And all made in one saucepan! Even better.

Is anyone else finding Google's new search page really annoying? I feel like it's rushing me. I'd like the screen to stay still as I'm typing, please.
