I thought i'd make some cookies for some guests who are coming round at 3pm. I couldn't find the cookie recipe but *oh look* here's a flapjack recipe!
So without checking whether i had all the ingredients, i merrily started melting some butter, sugar and golden syrup. Nice. Then i discover i don't have enough sultanas. Oh well, i'll chop up some dried apricots, that'll do! Then i discover i don't have enough oats!! It's too late to stop now!! What can i use? Aha, i know! Breakfast cereal! YAY! I also forgot to put any spices in (usually ginger or cinnamon or mixed spice) but from licking out the saucepan, i think it will taste just delicious as it is!
Hurrah for make-it-up-as-you-go-along baking! ;)

To all my friends and everyone i love … have a happy Valentines Day.
My valentines 'thing' is i make a special meal. We don't go out to eat – it's too expensive – but valentines is the one time of year where i am tempted to try cooking something special and different. Tonight i am doing stuffed courgettes with a lemon sauce. Smells good – i am quite looking forward to it!
My no-chocolate-for-Lent kind of ruled out my usual valentines gift from my partner … but instead i got some Sport Relief socks!! :D I wore them today! My partner also made me a lovely sweet card. Awww!
For all the single people out there, by choice or by circumstance … sorry about today, but be sure to enjoy Singles Awareness Day tomorrow! :D
