Lemon and Ginger Baked Doughnuts.
I was starting to worry that my brain was atrophying from lack of use. It’s been a month today since my last day at work, and since then I haven’t really done anything science related, and I worry that I will forget it all! Thankfully, as part of the welcome package our relocation agency gave […]
Settling in.
So, it’s been a gradual process, but things are getting done! Moving to a whole new country requires a lot of paperwork and applying for things, but it’s all in hand, we have a bank account, social security application done, and have been viewing places to rent and checking out neighbourhoods. Our temporary accommodation is […]
“Cronut” making and farewell…..
… tonight was the last time we were going to see our friend Neil (until they come visit sometime next year). Sad times. So, I wondered about surprising him by making some Croissant dough, as the next challenge that he wanted to try to make (after the previous one of fondant fancies) was “Cronuts” NB. I […]
Packing and Truffles
It’s really getting close to moving day now, I have emptied my jars of stuff into bags and cleaned all my kitchen jars: Haha! Good luck with those moving minions! I have also been using up some more of the ingredients from the kitchen, in this case a tin of condensed milk and a load […]
Coconut Hobnobs
It has been a hella busy week! I spent most of this week at home, catching up with friends, and taking a little trip to Redcar beach for the wonder that is a Lemon Top! Seriously, these things are really good! But, alas I couldn’t stay up there forever, and had to get back to […]
Chili Cheese Corn Dodgers
The making of this recipe was inspired by having more random ingredients leftover in the cupboards. Some more random ingredients that you buy for a recipe, like Joy the Baker’s lush baked polenta, or to add some texture to shortbread. Anyhow, the end result is a big bag of cornmeal in my cupboard, so if […]
Almond butter, chocolate, and fig cookies.
…or how do I use up some more random ingredients from the cupboards. I’m not sure why I even had almond butter in the cupboard, but I have been going through them and picking out bits and pieces to inspire me to use them up. Almond butter. Bag of chocolate chips. The rest of a […]
Great British Bake Off Week 7: Coconut and Cardamom Roly Poly
So, I’m a little late to link up to the Great Bloggers Bake Off run by the Crazy Kitchen and Mummy Mishaps this week, alas, it has been a very busy week! Most of my evenings last week were taken up by doing some preparation for my last day at work goodies, and having a Dexter get together for […]
Last day at work time!
The past couple of years Mr M and I have been living in a kind of life limbo. Soon that limbo will end with the start of a new chapter in our lives, when we move to San Jose, but before that had to come the end of this one. So, yesterday was my last […]
Great British Bake Off Week 6: Mango, Coconut, Ginger, and Mint Tea Loaf
Can you tell I’m trying to use up some of the random ingredients from my cupboards? I have made regular tea loaf cake before, and it’s a much underrated baked good I think, so simple to put together, but of course requiring a bit of forward planning to soak your fruit overnight….and yeah, technically it isn’t […]
