Good afternoon everyone,

I have had an exhausting week, and I think you're great, and here's a Fem Fri guide to a nice night in.

Let's start with dessert. Don't worry about ruining your appetite, you're going to be fine. I love the recipes and cooking thinking of Samin Nosrat so this mango pie/cheesecake is going to be great. It also suggests it for Thanksgiving so maybe good to practice this a bit if you're going to be making Thanksgiving dinner:

    100g/3½ oz granulated sugar

    large pinch sea salt

While that's cooking, you're going to want a cocktail probably. Here's one that calls for gin with booze in it but if that's not your scene of course use Sipsmith or similar:

Duck's

15ml rose liquer

Pretty sure this is a "shaken" one and as you will see in the image it's served in a coupe. In any case, I think this is probably enough information for you, play with the space and let me know how it works out for you.

You might also want to listen to an indie pop album as you wait for your pie to cook and chill out with your cocktail. Give MEMORIALS a try, and their album Women Against the Bomb. Here's It's In Our Hands:
