I'm not even kidding. This cake really is incredible. A recipe that I got from my Mom who got it from... someone she used to know in Malawi. Go figure.

Ruth agrees - this cake is absolutely delicious.

The end.

I indulged in some spooky Halloween baking on Saturday.

I would like to point out that I managed this while hungover - and still COVERED in fake blood. I blame Kateface.

In honor of mine and Kateface's slight esteem for Finland (and by slight regard you know we mean slight obsession), I made Korvapuusti. This is Finland's version of the cinnamon bun - and it is the best thing you will ever eat.



OMNOMNOM )

They were, as usual, delicious. My flatmates have now officially been brought round to the cause as well.

YUM.

Instead of reading things I should have been reading, I made banana bread today.

Here's how. )

I modified this recipe and it was good, though I think I cooked it a bit too much, I would reduce the temperature to 175° or maybe even 170°, it would take much longer but I think the top would burn less. However, all those who have tried it have declared it delicious and I must say, I agree. Omnomnom.

Serve with coffee, in Moomin mug if possible.

Finally getting around to using this journal! :) This is a picture I took in Venice, but I think it's pretty. ^^

Autumn has hit Scotland and seems to be running full tilt into winter. But today was a lovely day - unfortunately I had to spend it inside reading. Not all a loss, though, because I had tea and a snuggie and a generally good mood.

When the sun shines in Scotland, I really think it's one of the most beautiful places in the world. <3

A brief intro post/filler post to put at least SOMETHING on the page.

Welcome to [info]pumpkinspiced, a new tool with which I will attempt to document my descent into housewifery - in other words, keep track of my growing obsession with the domestic arts.

Herein you will, in theory, find documentation of such gripping and dangerous activities as:

~knitting
~baking
~cooking
~crocheting
~photography

And other things that may or may not take my fancy.

Mind, I have better intentions than followthrough, usually, but this should be a bit of a lark - keep my mind off that whole uni thing.

Toodle pip, until a later date
