Banana, Chocolate and Ginger Softies
After seeing I think the 20th place, we have finally come to a decision on places to live. Hurrah! No more endlessly looking for places, touring around places…… It gets kinda dull after a while. One of our things we were looking for was lots of storage, and a nice big kitchen for me to […]
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 […]
Cake Red Velvet Mini Clutch
It seems most of my time these days is spent sorting and tidying and running errands and thinking up ways to use up all the random items of food in my kitchen cupboards. Tinned pears and lemon jelly anyone? (FYI, totally delicious) I have been trying to relax a little though, and doing a little […]
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 […]
