Ten Random Pictures: The Athletes’ Village Park
Remember the Winter Olympics of 2010? Of course you do, it was the greatest party ever!
Here are ten pictures from the park at the athletes’ village, or Millennium Water Condos/Apartments – its’ post olympics name.
Wacky Cake
Remember a few months ago when I mentioned that I was going to make Wacky Cake? Well, I finally have pictures to show.
This awesome retro cake was borne from an era when ingredients such as milk, eggs and butter were scarce or rationed.
Wacky Cake is unique in that it’s made without eggs, milk and butter, and it’s still delicious.
There are quite a few slight variations of recipes – but the core ingredients remain the same; oil, vinegar and cocoa powder.
I used this recipe, it very easy to make, and put together and clean up is a breeze.
First the flour is sieved.
Then the cocoa powder is added
Here’re the dry ingredients all mixed together to create a lovely hue.
The fun part; you make three holes in the flour and then add the oil, vinegar and vanilla.
Add a cup of water and mix it all around.
Perfect!
The Coffee Shop
It’s Friday, do something to celebrate! I read that somewhere today.
Fridays are the best, so full of promise, especially when it’s sunny and beautiful out.
A while back promised myself i’d spend my Friday nights at the café penning my roman à clef
That was a long time ago, these days I just hang out at the café.
Special Days Past
I can’t believe it’s been over two months since my birthday.
You know what that means? Soon it’ll be Christmas!
My birthday is exactly halfway to the holidays and somehow I think that makes it even more special.
So two months later, I’m here to tell, and show you in pictures, how I celebrated my birthday with cake and macarons… (Marie Antoinette would be so proud!)
Also I wore a sweatshirt to work…. because it was my birthday and I could, plus it’s a nice sweatshirt.
