Today I made soup! Potato soup to be exact! It was so easy! I've always thought making soup would be labour intensive and just not worth all the work but the recipe I was working off today was sooooooo easy! Just some chopping and throwing everything together into the pot and then BAM, soup. Okay, not so much BAM but it was nothing compared to the ( Read more... )

I tried to make this Daffodil Cake yesterday. I got sick of folding in my flour with my egg whites, so I busted out my hand mixer and mixed that flour in. After my little moment of triumph over the tedium of folding in the flour, I realised maybe that wasn't such a great idea because all my delicious, fluffy, airy egg whites went to hell ( Read more... )

I am still alive, I just refuse to make entries when they will all be about how work is killing my soul. No lie, everyday I get that one step closer to murdering everyone in the office. My plan to at least stay at this job till Feb will really have to be re-evaluated if the hatred continues at the rate it is ( Read more... )

I was vaguely up-to-date with my tv watching this week!

Vanessa and I watched Delia cook this recipe with quail eggs on the weekend. We were both utterly floored that you could fry quail eggs since we've only had them hard-boiled, and assumed that's the only way you can eat quail eggs. Clearly we both make weird assumptions. So, we were floored and after being mesmerised by fried quail eggs, ran to my ( Read more... )

Highlight of today: Having the bejesuses scared out of me when a daddy-long-legs decided to come on down and dangle in front of my face! The coughing fit after that little shebang was astronomical to say the least.

I'm 4 episodes into the first season of Criminal Minds and I am seriously head over heels in love with one Dr Spencer Ried. I just don ( Read more... )

I haven't been dragged into the Sudoku craze since they'd been introduced. I did try it a few times before giving up cause I could never solve them. That was till Auntie Y told me about knowing a 6 year old kid going through them in a flash. I just felt slightly stupid for not ever finishing one, so I went on a mission to finish one of these damned ( Read more... )

How come countries are all women? It's a little something I've noticed when reading the papers lately. I used to have a history teacher, when teaching us the WWII period, used to refer to the countries are her/she. I remember the class called him out on that. He gave up a fumbled and incoherent explanantion that never really explained why countries ( Read more... )

Fuck I hate it when our net just conks out for no apparent reason and the only way to get it working again is to unplug both the cable modem and router for a few minutes. Of course I didn't try that action till I had spent 4 hours trying everything but unplugging the two blasted things at the same time and spending forever on the phone to Optus who ( Read more... )
