Week Four
It’s hard to believe I’m almost done with week four of this unit already. The time has been flying by, and the last two weeks are guaranteed to flash by we’re going to be so busy. First let’s catch up. I finished last week with the apple trio of desserts. Well, it was apples and […]

Back, when I was still in Wales, DmentD sent me the link to a blog he thought I might be interested in, he’d found it browsing about the web and after passing it onto me he promptly forgot about it *grins* The blog belonged to a girl who was in the final stages of a […]
Continue Reading...Many Exams
Right now it feels like as soon as I finish one we’re onto another… which is fairly close to how it’s happening! The Filo exam on Friday went well, I was pleased with how I did. Everything worked out nicely, and candied pecans are in fact more delicious than you would anticipate! Then we had […]
Continue Reading...Busy Week
A week of exams this week, and will continue to be so for all the weeks left of this unit. Though amazingly we’re two weeks down already, it’s going quick. This week started with our chocolate plate up. I had grand plans, and as so often happens when you do, they failed! I was going […]
Continue Reading...Catch Up
Firstly, at New Years was a friend’s birthday that Michael and I made the cake for. Maxfield Parrish was a favourite artist of the recipient with The Latern Bearers being her favourite piece. So keeping this in mind we made an orange chiffon cake and after covering it in buttercream we decorated it with the […]

May 2009 bring you health, wealth and happiness. We saw in the New Years at a friend’s party, it was Masquerade so a few days before we decided on a costume. This was mostly based around the fact that DmentD really wanted to make himself a fez. So we decided to go 1950’s kitsch! We […]
Continue Reading...Gun Range
Earlier this week DmentD took me to the gun range. This might seem odd and bizarre to anyone over there in the UK, you’re all wondering now whether I’m living with a gun-toting maniac *grins* The answer’s no I’m not. This was infact the first time I had seen any of the guns though I […]
Continue Reading...Knitting!
A while back I decided to re-teach myself knitting and crochet (though so far I’ve only done the knitting). Finding a project I wanted to do and some nice wool I set to making a hat… … it failed! I followed the pattern religiously, and there I think was my problem.. It claimed to be […]
Continue Reading...Promised Photos
And some photos not promised. First, DmentD and I at his work Christmas party at the museum, and then a couple of us playing about while we were baking! Next, the gift tins! And every item in them… We didn’t make the cat treats, but we did make everything else. It was so much fun […]
Continue Reading...Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime
It’s been a very wonderful Christmas. DmentD took from Christmas Eve off and isn’t back to work until Monday so it’s been fantastic having the time together with nothing urgent to do. We were up a little earlier than planned Christmas morning and after breakfast of homemade (by DmentD) pancakes.. the American style, not English, […]
