Experiment Time


So I guess I haven't posted here in a while. Y'know, just a few days or so. I've withdrawn from being active on the internet over the last couple of years and although I think that's been good in terms of no spending lots of time posting and chatting, it's also meant I haven't had that aspect of my life around anymore. (Wow, I didn't realise how loud the spacebar on this keyboard was since I haven't really used it for faster-paced typing much, only slow report writing and essay writing and such. It clicks!)

So I'm going to try again. Again. Ah well. Persistence, right?

I've been slowly increasing my skill and experience in the kitchen over the last few years also, and yesterday I tried a couple of recipes, including one new one for chocolate cake from smitten kitchen. I thirded it and baked muffins that I then proceded to not treat very gently, as can be been in the photo above, but which turned out very nice none-the-less: rich but light and moist. Very easy to eat. I took them in to uni today and got rid of most of them, with only positive comments, so yay! I also tried my hand at an old recipe, the one my mum used to use for handmade, homemade bread when I was a kid. I don't think I let it rise quite enough, as it wasn't super light, but it tasted good and that's all that matters. (No Knead recipe, if anyone knows of it.)

I'm still in the bad habit of leaving things like posting or writing until the very last minute, because now it's 12.14am Tuesday morning, and I need to be heading off to bed at a reasonable time in order to break my annoying habit of a late afternoon/evening nap, which steals all of my evening time from me. I didn't cook dinner until 9.30pm tonight because of it.

So I will head off, and try to be somewhat active on here in the future. Let's see.
