Waiting is the worst

 No news on the health front,  I am hoping for the results of the breast MRI tomorrow. I also had my blood drawn for genetic testing, and we're hoping for those results to get back before surgery. (Thanks to the phlebotomist I have an ugly bruise)

I had a decent day yesterday doing something I like - cooking!

I baked the coconut bread recipe from Smitten Kitchen (think banana bread but coconut.) It turned out great, and I added some sanding sugar to the top for crunch. If I did it again, I think I'd also add some golden raisins for tart-ness. 

For dinner, I made a pot roast with North African spices, and despite the substitution of cardamom for coriander it turned out really nice- very comforting and I blitzed up some of the veg to make the sauce thicker. Served it with tiny potatoes, and we really liked it- There's enough for another dinner - maybe tomorrow.

Other plans today include a manicure, and maybe a walk somewhere pretty. 

Also toying with the idea of a deli lunch. 

I need to do more cooking and freezing over the next week so there will be something decent to eat when I'm healing.
