So I had two left over eggs from a couple of English Breakfasts I made last week. What to do with leftover eggs? Bake! As it’s Christmas, I decided to go for something festive: Christmas Cookies. I doubled the recipe’s quantity because I had two eggs not one. I had to place the dough in [...]
Black Forest Gateau
Probably my most ambitious cake to date. Had to get a lot of odd ingredients that I would otherwise not buy, but it was worth it. The sponge was moist and the filling tasted just right. The whole cake actually tasted like a Black Forest Gateau. What I didn’t like was the morello cherries, not [...]
Concentration Music
Currently cannot work or think. Road works and next door are killing silence so badly with drills and other electronic noises that scream murder. This, of course, results in an inevitable lack of concentration and peace for my brain to focus. So what do I do? Go on Youtube. Not to procrastinate, but to listen [...]

A few weeks back my friends and I made a massive cake for the first time in a very long while. Without an electric whisk. It became a tag team match swapping the hand-held whisk to try and get some blood back into the arm. Needless to say it took a while. But yay, a [...]
How nice
Found this on my laptop, taken a while ago. This was on the path on the way to uni.
Back to Reality
Yup, the wedding's done, we're back from the honeymoon, and the new academic term has begun. It's back to reality. And how nice of the weather to welcome us back. Not. Right now, I'm currently trying to find a graduate job in accountancy. In London. Yes, I know it's competitive. Yes, I know I should [...]
