Hello everyone. I thought I'd drop a few lines (or paragraphs, or hundred words) to get you up to date with what's going on in my (not so) interesting life. So, today is Saturday and I've pretty much had a day in. I woke up at about 7:30am, which is early for a Saturday but I always seem to wake up at pretty much the same time no matter what day it is.
This morning I spent a few hours chatting to my friend Rhys on MSN before I showered and actually dressed nice despite the fact that I knew I would be staying in the house pretty much all day. When I was ready I decided to attempt making a video-blog but wasn't so keen on the idea when I realised that I actually need a haircut. My fringe is so long now and I have to keep parting it so that I can see and to avoid looking like an emo from 2005. So, expect a video-blog once I've had my hair cut. As far as I know, my mom is going to kindly trim my fringe later on and I'll be like "ahhhh I can see again" haha.
After the unsuccessful video-blog attempt, I decided that I was going to bake a cake, knowing that I didn't have many ingredients but there was flour and eggs in the kitchen. I quickly surveyed the kitchen cupboards to find some ingredients for the cake. I suddenly had the brain-wave that mint flavoured hot chocolate powder could be added to the cake mixture to make it taste good, so I settled for making a mint-chocolate cake. I used the recipe that I usually use for baking cakes but changed it slightly, in the sense that I melted the butter in the saucepan before adding it to the mixing bowl and I added (powdered) milk to the eggs along with the water, which I then added to my mixture of flour, butter and chocolate powder. I then put the cake in the oven hoping that it would come out of the oven at least ok. I kept checking on the cake whilst it was cooking because I'm never quite sure how long it takes for a cake to cook. I must say that my cake was a success even though it was on the thin side, next time I'll make two cakes and a filling to put between them. Today I was informed that we're having another psychology society bake sale at the end of March, so I need to get my practice in before then, I already have ideas of what I want to bake.
When the cake was all done and dusted, I decided to pay my nan a visit to let her try some of my wonderful cake, and I haven't long got home. I've put some pictures of my cake below, just because I'm proud of it (you probably think it looks pathetic lol).
