As a fairly incompetent cook, there is nothing I like more than looking at the culinary efforts of others (my number one is obviously Luxirare, I just sit there scrolling with my mouth hanging open…). These drool-worthy cakes and biscuits/cookies are by i am baker and you can see way more photos and recipes at her blog. I’m also enjoying the Pretty Foods tumblr for similar foodie fun daily.
If you’re hungry you should go and get a snack before scrolling down, because Carmen Troesser‘s gorgeous food photography is going to make that way worse. So many lovely colours and textures, I think I’m drooling.

These photos are a bit old (from my boyfriend’s birthday in September), but I thought they were quite nice and better late than never! If by chance it’s your birthday today, then have a great one!
I bought an egg warmer! Cutest/most frivolous things ever. Mmm eggs.
I’m in Switzerland for the rest of the month. Last time I was here it looked like this, so that’s quite a change of landscape. It’s been cold and foggy though, so we haven’t been anywhere apart from to the supermarket. Hopefully it warms up and we’ll go on walks and bike rides and to the lake. In the meantime I’ve been doing lots of drawing and painting. I also watched 22 episodes of Greek in four days! I like it.
I bought Waitrose Food Illustrated purely because of that THING on the cover. Seriously, that kind of deliciousness should be illegal. I haven’t made it yet, but when I do I’ll report back! I’m expecting something truly epic. Annoyingly they now have the recipe on their website, so here it is.
Still, the magazine looks pretty so it’s not a total waste.
I’ve got the travel bug lately huh! I’ve just come back from a long weekend in Beaune, France (pronounced BONE, oh how we punned) visiting a friend working there at the moment. We drank buckets of wine (and went wine tasting which I’d never done before, it was really fun), went to the markets and ate more cheese than I thought was possible in four days. It was excellent. My next trip is to Moscow/St Petersburg in july but I’m hoping to cram in a weekend in Berlin too. At some point. We’ll see!
With the help of a bowl of cherries…
Monday, June 16th, 2008I just spent five hours of my life trying to make threaded comments and emailed replies work on the blog and finally! It works. I used the WordPress Thread Comment Plugin and my clever boyfriend helped me rewrite the CSS and I feel a little smarter now than I did this morning. Hurrah! Anyone can reply to any comment, but only my replies are emailed to the commenter (I thought this was safest so nobody gets spammed or anything nasty).
There are a few other blog things I’m working on, but I’ll tell you about those when they’re done!
