Chocolate Brownies with Raspberries

When it comes to baking, I have this system. I would print off recipes on scraps of paper of things that I stumble across on the net and when I finally feel like it, I would make it. If I don't like it, the recipe gets binned. If I love it, the recipe gets copied into my pretty recipe book permanently.

The collection of scraps of paper I have lying around has grown ridiculously over the last few months. I have now got a thick wad of folded A4 papers in my bag that I lug all over the place. Just because you never know when the mood might strike - be it food shopping for ingredients at the supermarket or hanging out at a mate's place and the need to bake strikes!

Anyhooo I've decided I need to get rid of all these papers so recently I've made:
* Chocolate Chips Cookies with bacon ... so good! Photos to come.
* Avocado Cake ... not so good, it tasted like avocado. Duh! Recipe binned. Yay one down!

Last night, I made these so-called Best Chocolate Brownies ever! They aren't bad but I don't know if I would have been so bold as to call them the best ever. Oh well. I'm actually not that much of a pure chocolate dessert person. Chocolates themselves, sure. Something fruity covered with chocolate sauce, I am so there. But pure chocolate chocolate dessert? Meh.

So anyway, these aren't going into the recipe book. But still good. I've also recently discovered a combination that is a match made in heaven! Decadent moist and slightly warm dessert with a dollop of tangy greek yoghurt. S.O   G.O.O.D and healthier than ice cream! Next up, lemon squares!


How you doing??

Last Day At Work!!


Two months flew by with superman-like speed. Before I knew it, it's time to bid adieu to all the lovely ladies I've been working with. My boss here took us out for a coffee yesterday to say farewell and we ended up having a drink at the Westin too. I'm such a lightweight I was feeling light-headed after ONE drink!! How useless is that? In my defence, I had an empty stomach and I haven't had a drink in aagges. Cocktail season is upon us though.

Anyway I did my usual and baked some cupcakes for the ladies here. Look how preeettty they are! The cupcake stand always bring the looks up a notch... even if it is a handicapped one. If you look carefully, you can see that it's propped up by yellow pages in the back. Heh! I got it from Monica for Christmas one year and broke one of the legs the first time I used it. It was a bit uneven so I tried to bend it a little bit... unsuccessfully. I do not know my own strength!

So I'm outta here and this time tomorrow, I will be in Melbourne enjoying all the cuddles and kisses from Lauren... or shrieks and tears. One or the other.
