I should re name this blog, "dumb shit i do"

The sponge recipe called to pour the miture into two tins....

I didnt allow enough cooking time for it to be in the one tin....the sponge ended up being cooked around the edges but gooey in the middle so i ended up with a sponge ring....the cooked part tasted good though so keen to try this one again....correctly
Dumb shit....

Husband asked me to grab a bag of carrots from the markets for work....he said 2 kilo, i heard 20kilo....my bad.  20 kilos of carrots will last about 6 months..shame the carrots wont last that long...

Carrot Cake anyone?

3 Minute Sponge Page 69

Wanted to make something but didnt know what....so i flicked through the book and poked my finger on a random page...this is what i chose :)

I thought sponge was supposed to be difficult....no sifting, not alot of dishes, 3 mins of beating and pour into a greased lined pan and bake for 15 mins- the lining of the tin was the time consuming bit, and lets be honest, its NOT REALLY that time consuming, is it!?

I have some left over raspberry jam from the belguim biscuits and some runny cream left over from another round of panacakes i made for friends on Sunday, so will whip that up and add it to the sponge with some raspberry jam.

Choice :D  If it all turns out well then i always have a fail safe dessert... 5mins to go...

Banana Loaf - page 26

mmmmmmmm yummmm.....i have to say, warm banana loaf with a blob of butter and a hot pot of coffee is a treat on a wintery Sunday afternoon by the fire....

If you dont do anything else today....MAKE THIS

Yes i know today is NOT sunday, but actually Tuesday...so. LOL

This loaf stays moist for a few days and you can even give it a nice little toast in the toaster.  Actually it doesnt really TOAST but it goes nice and warm and a little bit toasty on the outside, not much..but jsut enough mmmm
