Soo... I've been away for a long time now... So long that reading back on my smug 12 year old-self is extremely painful; did I actually think people read this rubbish? But then again, I haven't changed much and cooking is still a big part of my life, but there are other things that consume my time now so I've done a lot less than I'd want to; I'm a 15 year-old GCSE student so my relentless learning of German verbs, terrible drama performances (only terrible because of me, everyone else is great), trying to keep all the rubbish I write in Science to the mark scheme, uncovering the horrors of further trigonometry and trying to find a reason to care how the reader is influenced by repetition in texts sap a lot of my creative juices. I also play jazz and folk alto saxophone terribly and I do the extra GCSEs of Statistics and Astronomy. If you're given the chance to do Astronomy take it, it's actually really interesting, (I attended a lecture on the Aurora Borealis AKA the Northern Lights yesterday to complement the course and it was absolutely fantastic.)
I like to think that listing all this extra nonsense that I do makes me sound really broad-minded and busy but really I still have hours in the day which I spend being anti-social but somehow still social on Facebook and kneading and rising bread, but I feel like the greatest percentage of my time goes towards trying to remember why I went into the room that I walked into. Bread has become one of my latest obsessions and I try to make a loaf as often as I can. In fact I have a wholemeal sourdough rising right now which looks promising. I'll do a post about sourdough at some point because it's such a rewarding type of bread to try.
In case you cared which you won't but ya know here's some of the stuff I've made in my absence. They DID taste good, don't judge the crappy photos too soon.
God why have I said 'you' so often in this, no-one's reading it? Well, my future self is. Sorry in advance.
