baking......

I've been doing a mammoth amount of this since arriving in the land of oz.....

I really quite enjoy a spot of baking in the afternoon so there is something 

scum-diddly-umptious for the children to munch on when they wend their 

merry way home from school.......

there aren't many days go by when I haven't made a tasty treat,

and I really quite enjoy it.......

{and by all accounts the other members of the household also enjoy it too......}

cooking, now there's something I could quite happily never do again......

if I could have one person to help out at home it would be a cook.......

not a cleaner...... or someone to do the ironing...... I do precious little of either of those anyway.....

an untidy/slightly unkempt house does not bother me, but cooking...... 

it has to be done every day without fail...... 

and the only way that it gets done with any sense of sanity is if I write

out a little plan at the beginning of the week of what we will be eating 

for dinner and then do a bit of a dash to the shops so that I have everything

in for whatever it is I am going to cook that week........

{and I do make sure it is 'a bit of a dash' because I actually don't like shopping either....... 

unless it's for fabric or yarn or some other equally appealing crafty item......}

that makes cooking a little bit more manageable in my books.......

but only a little.......

however, baking......

whole. different. ball. game.......

oh yes, baking is definitely on a whole other level......
