I’m still working my way through Regina Leeds’ book, albeit slowly. Last week I started planning for the game night I’ve got going on, and the trivia weekend the weekend after that – so even though I looked through the chapter on the second part of the kitchen organization, I haven’t implemented much yet.

Video: The making of a cake
It’s a sign I’ve been around enough geologists in my job that I understood some of the jargon in there. At least I understand cake.
Buttermilk cake
To be frank – this cake was only made because I had a carton of buttermilk that was about to expire. I know that expiration date on buttermilk is not a firm date – the milk is fermented after all – but it was the kick I needed to make this. It is easy, quick… Continue reading Buttermilk cake

Video: Royal wedding
I know this is wildly out of date now, but I recently rewatched it – and I still think it is a fun watch to put a smile on your face.
Juicer
I’ve had my juicer for a fair bit now – and although it is a pain to clean up since I don’t have a dishwasher – it does see semi-regular use. I have discovered some don’ts – cucumber juice is not all that good when it is the core ingredient, actually. On the similar level,… Continue reading Juicer
