growing stuff

  I've discovered that growing plants from seed is very exciting :) they just spring up overnight! and I like how they take… however long they need to take, regardless of how often you check on them, how much you think about them or want to hurry them. They're on their own time scale.

honey corn muffins :]

the batter was strangely liquid but they turned out ok in the end..

breadmaking: attempts 1 and 2

my new rosemary plant :)

dark chocolate brownies :)

brownies are really easy to make :) but i still felt a huge sense of accomplishment when nothing went wrong and they turned out dense and chocolately...
also made homemade mayonnaise (it's supposed to be easy too) earlier this week, not quite a success but well, edible.

all the colours of the salsa

choc-dipped candied lemon slices

took time out on my birthday to try making this. not a complete success but well, reasonably yummy :)
