Bake Day March 13th

Hello again! So I'm going to let everyone know a silly little secret, when I made this blog last night I was very conscious of the fact that it didn't really have a theme or purpose, but I thought, and this will sound really silly if I stop blogging after five posts/days, that maybe it would inspire/encourage me to be more productive/exciting with my life! Lots of slashes there, sorry.

You see, I finished high school at the end of 2010 (like I stated in my previous post) and ever since then my time has been spent working at the supermarket or spending time with my boyfriend. He is/was my one. But we broke up, two months ago today actually. And ever since then I've been a bit lost, as can be imagined. I've been working soooo much, as much as I can, but other than that I haven't been doing anything constructive.

I don't really have any hobbies, except maybe reading. I do love books. I have a list a mile long of books I want to read. And yet I go to the library and pick more books at random to read! Having said that, please feel free to recommend me any books you've read and loved!

I am currently reading Valley of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann and loving it!

So, my silly little secret is out. But today I did do something productive! Knowing I have work at 3pm, I made some scones, which has been on my to do list for agessssss.

First I got dressed into lounge-around-at-home clothes, grey singlet, Minnie Mouse pyjama shorts and little uggies, had a healthy breakkie - muesli with yoghurt, yum!

This is my work station in the kitchen. I love www.taste.com.au  for all my recipes. Its Australian, obviously, so I don't have to worry about converting measurements. On the baking tray are my first trial batch of scones! And below...

...Is the finished product! They were quite yummy, although not as light and fluffy as I wished. And they don't really look like scones either... Ah well, they were still yummy!

I want to make a lot of scones and freeze them for my farewell party, since they are a traditional English food, and I've had a few requests for scones, jam and cream anyways! But I shall need to find the perfect recipe. Any suggestions?

I also was in the baking mood so I quickly made some basic shortbread biscuit batter. They are currently in the oven! Pictures to follow next time :)

Baking love!, Pam-Ella
