Snake

A few more busy, but productive, days have gone past and i'm currently perched on the kitchen side waiting for a buzz to tell me that my baking is cooked to perfection! On Friday i headed inland to see nearly all of my family and got treated to many lovely things between lunch at my mum's and tea at my dad's. The first of which was this Strawberry and Mascarpone Swiss Roll from the BBC's Baking Made Easy. Very scrumptious and the perfect balance of healthy-feeling lightness and creamy-sugary naughtiness. I'm also feeding my brother's 'pets' while he is away in London being treated for a tropical disease! I do find snakes very fascinating creatures but i can't help feeling slightly nervous while doing things with them because they are bloody terrifying things.


Still, Kratos seemed pretty pleased with my first attempt at feeding him...bless.

At my dad's i was treated to The Hairy Bikers Bakewell Tart, possibly from Mums Know Best, served with some lovely fresh raspberries and a hugely unhealthy dollop of chantilly cream. I'm sure the cream and raspeberries cancel each other out or something. I have also become caretaker of my dad's old Finepix S7000 since he got his new camera, so should have some good fun getting to know that and taking some nice photos with it (hopefully!).



The kitchen is starting to smell delcious and i think the oven will shortly need my attention. Should be some good to things to report on after tomorrow, especially if the baking goes well!
