I've been rather busy in the kitchen. Cleaning out the pantry, drawers and cupboards.

And baking like a mad woman. I am terribly bad at following recipes accurately. I made two generous sized carrot cakes and underestimated how long they would take to cook. Midnight madness and come 12am they were finally rested on the bench cooling and I was whipping up the cream cheese icing. Still it was worth it. Everyone at work thought so anyway..

Slowly putting things back in their place in the kitchen and re-arranging some other things, as you do.

I've been easing back into the cooking despite the hot weather we've had in Melbourne lately. I made Bill's marinated lamb with chickpea salad. I over did it with the garam masala but it was still nice. From his same book, I made the apple and dried cherry almond loaf which weighs about 1kg.

I went to the market during the week and bought way too many zucchini's, so I made lots of zucchini slice. It's been nice eating it cold for lunch at work. Yes, back at work now..
