Hiatus!

You must be wondering... did this baker abandon yet another blog? It's almost a month and nothing's up. Well I swear to you... I was so busy I almost died baking the other day.

So what's up recently? Well actually nothing much... either than attempting a Bob the builder cake and making more macarons (posts on those real soon), I've been pretty much sorting out things like work and applying for university (I did got in, hurray!). One other thing caught my eye though...online shopping.




I can't explain how addictive online shopping is... you just click away, punch in your card number and wait to get that mysterious parcel to arrive. The thing is... when you are buying something that you know you can't quite find something like that in your tiny little sunny island, no matter how expensive or how long the shipment is you know you just want to get it. Like forbidden fruits that gleam at me from the opposite patch of greenland, I click and click and click and next thing you know, I see my bank slip full of oversea payment. One word: Horror.


These are just one of the few, there's more to come and they are much more beautiful. When I say beautiful, I'm not talking bout simple polka dots like these. I'm talking bout 'Bohemian and swirls of colors' kind of beautiful and I can't wait for them to come next week. I'm not saying that the liners in Singapore sucks, but seriously I think there can be more. So... anyone gonna bring these in and not charge up a hell?




Anyway, end of the day we buy them simply to bake them in it. Thank god I did have a very strong sense of sentimental towards these liners else they would get stuck in the cupboards forever untouched, only to be admired from time to time when I remember to. Someone did mention to me that end of the day these liners are just gonna get thrown away. But you know what? I think the visual impact makes eating these Peanut Butter and Chocolate muffins a little better :)

But yea in the end the liners did end up in the bin. Oh well!

Btw, I've added a new gadget on the side named Katherine's Favorite Things (oh I'm Katherine by the way too) and those links there are tiny pieces of Nirvana that I enjoy reading from time to time. If You too are a food blogger and wanna link up, just drop a comment or email and I'll be more than happy to check you out :)

I hate orange juice with pancakes and also, food blogs that stretch my screen like crazy :D
