my i’ve been cooking like crazy lately and very mucho loving it also. Here’s a few of the things i’ve munched on recently.

steak with creamy mushroom sauce (proved by the lovely svenni) with spuds, carrots and leeks.

apple and raspberry crumble with wholemeal, oats and hazelnut crumble, eaten with cream, or my favourite CUSTARD <3

this morning’s brunch: caramelized french onion, carrots with butter, gently cooked cherry vine tomatos, leeks, polish sausages (gift from my favourite bunny) and mashed potatos with loads of butter and little chunks of sausage.

Well now.. it’s tea time I believe… hohoho

demolished. and now so am i. i feel sick.

yet another cakey from uncle. YOU SEE! YOU SEE!! how hard for me NOT to be a piggy!!. I pretty much ate the whole cake this morning (come afternoon) whilst looking for a new printer. what kind of graphic design student at csm doesn’t have a printer and laptop? anywho. as much as cake is lovely, dainty, soft and spongy and delicate, what i really love is the texture if cake and the delicate colours combinations that come purely from putting together stuff that tastes good.  so enjoy >:D btw that lovely red filling is jelly not american jelly (its jam not jelly!) its actually wibbly wobbly jelly jelly

nurturing inner piggy

fry lightly batter coated banana chunkies.

heat up your sugah. 

use aggressive force if sugar doesn’t melt, as shown above. bananas ready for action!

throw the bananas into the hot sugar and toss with crazy wrist action skills.

drop them individually onto a cold surface. our metal worktop.

after cooling, sugar will have hardened and banana will be slushie and sweet. perfect with a scoop of joes. swansea’s finest <3 thanks uncle!

status update

last minute run..

last night i was in a large panic to find tomatoes with the stalks for my deadline the day after. i went to sainsburys.. nope.. fine.. back down to the other way.. tescos.. no.. m & s shut.. waitrose shut.. 7 mins before the other sainsburys shut… RUUUNNN…. i caught sight of another girl coming from a different direction running too.. and we smiled.. ahh the last minute rush into sainsburies.  having found my desired purchases i used the extra two minutes to stroll to the far end of the store.. mmm frozen food section.. having decided i wouldn’t spend any money on ice cream as it was all too expensive and none particularly desireable i walked along on my merry way, on towards the checkouts and there it was…. bird’s eye artic roll….

oh my this brings back childhood memories.. theres something almost a bit odd and understated.. about this ubercute old schooly british dessert ( a bit like an underdog.. yes this icecream is very deep indeed!!) . we used to eat it at school too.. hmm sponge cake.. raspberry jam… ice cream? yes please!!

two more days. one last munch together.

tired. a bit worried about the focus and general well being of my camera having dropped it..  noes.. its become my sketchbook, don’t know what i’d do without it.  i’d rather carry my camera than my wallet. 

hmmm not so great pictures but heres an observation… spinkles go ratherwell with brown…. funny that.

work hard.

my tutor suggested that I should make my merry way to tottenham court road to check out home furnishing stores for my latest project. absolutely knackered. my parents came to visit so they tagged along. didn’t find much inspiration but thankfully we did find these delicious om noms!

i have a great uncle. who spoils me with delicious cakeys.

mm delicious center with cream, fruit and strawberry jelly center! thanks uncle!!
