It was just the right amount of rose water, and the batter dry ingredients being mostly ground pistachios and almond flour made it so flavourful!

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

I was skeptical but it was actually delicious!

Cake is out of the oven now and cooling on the counter. I’ll make the glaze and put it all together at the office during my lunch break later today. 🍜🍽️

He only texts me when he needs baking advice so no idea 😂 I think it will be weird for him to be home after being on his own/not having to share space with us and our expectations for more than a month. But it will be good too!

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

I fully anticipate we will want to spend time with him more than he will want to spend time with us. 😂

Up early baking the pistachio lemon cake from a recipe in The Guardian, at the request of a colleague celebrating a birthday in the office today. Never made it before, and don’t have crystallized rose petals on hand, but it’s in the oven now. www.theguardian.com/food/2023/oc...

Pistachio and lemon cake – and more: Nigel Slater’s fruit and nut bakes

If the shorter days and cooler nights are urging you to turn on the oven, try these recipes including courgette, feta and tarragon tart, and olive and pine-nut buns

Today I get to see my kid for the first time in over a month. I know that’s not a big deal given *gestures broadly* but it’s the longest we’ve ever been apart and I’m so happy to see him.

(And I’ve gotten spoiled sitting just off the half all these years. I don’t want to move further back or to a corner.)

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

No. My seats are in Midfield B so there wasn’t a shocking increase. Bigger jump than previous years but the seats weren’t reclassified.

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Ok I have opted in for my Whitecaps season tickets renewal. I kept all three seats because I like bringing guests. We’ll see how it goes, might end up cancelling one of them if the team is still here 2028-2029. #VWFC

Tomorrow I'll cook a pound of dried pinto beans and do my approximation of Mexican meals all next week.

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 04/10/2026

Tonight's dinner plan: use up my weekly pot of beans by combining what's left with grape tomatoes and spinach, then top with sliced halloumi and put it in the oven until things are bubbly and browning. 🍽️🍲

Thank you! The amount of dust on it when I picked it up this afternoon was criminal.

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Off to my Saturday afternoon recovery meeting (I'm an alcoholic in case you weren't aware - 33 years sober!) and then I need to do things to renew my passport, pick up groceries, etc. (I slept last night from about 8pm-8am and am feeling much better about the world. Funny how that works.)

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

That was a difficult work week, glad it's over. Kid's at uni, Husband is away doing a very cool family thing in Edmonton, and I have the apartment to myself all weekend. I am exhausted and feel like I might be fighting something, so am going to hide, mostly. And tidy up the place. And play guitar.

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I appreciate the insight, thanks! I’ve only sold my unused tickets once, so no real experience with that.

110

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Yikes! Mine are in a section that did not get reclassified, so the increase is about 30%. Much higher than previous years but still manageable if I decide to renew.

020

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Or have three and sell the extra one when it’s not being used? I suppose it’s not easy to sell single tickets…

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Time to renew my #VWFC season tickets. The price increase is manageable within my budget. Thankful Kid got academic scholarships for university! But the real question with Kid away for most of the season now: do I go down to two tickets (more affordable) or keep three (more fun for friends/guests)?

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Today: 2 hour work meeting, then a grocery shop, then cooking ahead for the week. (A pot of cannellini beans, some frittata for quick breakfasts, a batch of homemade granola, some daal.)

Finished yesterday day with 224 minutes of exercise. Just from walking/taking transit instead of driving.

Screen capture of yesterday’s stats from my Apple Fitness app: 1294 calories (500 calorie goal), 224 minutes exercise (35 minute goal) and 15 hours of standing at least one minute each hour (10 hour goal).

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Disappointing result for my beloved Whitecaps. Definitely missing Priso and Cubas. #VWFC

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

The accountability of the LifestyleRX program I’m doing is a big part of why I enrolled. We all know what we *should* be doing for our health but it’s easy to just, not.

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

And I plan to walk home from the Whitecaps game this evening so that’s another 30+ minutes before day’s end.

010

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Literally to increase my exercise to an hour a day all I’ve had to do is stop driving my car. Went for a walk with a friend this morning, then took transit to a meeting at my office and I’m already at 137 exercise minutes for the day on my Apple Watch/Fitness app.

It's called film "footage" because camera operators initially held the cameras with their feet. That changed after a film shoot in 1931, when an operator got a foot cramp and was forced to hold the camera in his hands. The "footage" he got that day was extraordinary. That man's name? Hans Cameraman.

Personally I think we should celebrate people doing “small tasks” more Oh you made a meal? I am cheering you on Oh you brushed your teeth and got out of bed on time? I am cheering you on Oh you did laundry? I am cheering you on I will always uplift people for doing even the most mundane

I was there a month ago and went back today. So great.

Where the building is also art.

I love photographing urban decay. Don’t know why.

Been tossing and turning all night. Giving up on trying to sleep. If I’m insomniac i might as well get up and get stuff done.

Either Honeymoon Suite is playing in Stanley Park tonight or whatever band *is playing* is doing Honeymoon Suite covers. “Wave Babies” just came wafting at us across Lost Lagoon.

Oooh. Four hours isn’t much. I would probably take the train from the airport into Central and walk by the waterfront. Or do the same on the Kowloon side, with a wander up Nathan Road. Might have time to go to Central and take the ferry to the Kowloon side.

Alexis Hinde @alexishinde.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Did I take the shortest route to my office? Nope. Did I take the flattest route to my office? Yup, absolutely. Did I have to walk my bike up the hill at Clark/6th? Yes, I did. No shame.

Thanks! Part of my “look after myself now that Kid’s at uni” project. :)
