piracy and cake

So, i have resolved to write a proper blog, a blog with news in. Or, at the very least, details of what we get up to on a day to day basis.This weekend has not been typical in that we have spent no money and not really been anywhere. Obviously, we have been to megarmart - several times - but no parties, no rooftop dances and we have remained resolutely sober.

Heidi has been ill - the little chicken. She has a cold and has been feeling sick. On the plus side, she hasn't stopped eating either, which means, neither have i. It still shocks me how klittle i could get away with eating in the UK. Seriously, once a day would do me fine. But here, now, i am eating at leats three meals a day and boy do i love cake!

which brings me to this:

This, my friends, is the mother of all cakes. Each nodule is perfectly formed sweet dough and covered in ground nuts, cinnamon, allspice and sugar.

It is the most European thing we could think of making, and Mary, that is all down to you. We were talking about what to eat and Heidi decided that she wanted stodge. Immediately we thought of potato dumplings in a potato sauce with pork. But once the Hungarian cook book had come out, my sweet tooth took over and it had to be cake. This, my friends, is that the result. And it rocks the free world!

this is what we did this afternoon, we baked.

I was going to talk about piracy, about the wonders of torrents. BUt i'm tired now and am gonna go to bed.

Take care of you.
