Kladdkaka is a well-loved chocolate, gooey cake in Sweden. This cake is so low effort and high satisfaction guaranteed, it’s mad. It’s almost as easy as the eggless, butterless chocolate cake recipe. Mr. G asked if I could look for a recipe that had chocolate and rum in it and that’s how I found Johanna [...]
Happy April Folks! I hope this month will be a happier month for everyone. I’d falsely believed that spring was here until a local guide told me that it’s going to be a long winter this year. Aw boo! Here I was ready to celebrate. No matter, I’ve got some goodies to chase the winter [...]
Have you seen or heard of the Umbilical Brothers? HOoooly Gabooshes, they are AWESOME! We came home from watching Hello Dolly the musical (another awesome production) and found The Umbilical Brothers on. You have to watch them live or on DVD when you get the chance. However, they aren’t very politically correct. In fact, they [...]
Today marks the first day of my niece’s life on earth. Her parents have decided to name her Jolie, the french word for pretty. I haven’t met her and I can’t wait to. My first time as an aunt was when I was about 20 years-old and it’s 10 years since Bryan was born. Then [...]
Who would have thought that there were so many types of flour? I alone have seven types of flour in my larder. And seriously, I really only use two – plain and self-raising. Is all that flour really necessary? I was looking for a red velvet cake recipe when almost every recipe I found asked [...]
I was a rebel as a kid. My parents had plenty of headaches from my mischiefs. I hated school and homework even more. I especially had a ‘fondness’ for my class teacher who previously (unfortunately) taught my more academically-inclined older brother. Every day she would remind me how well-behaved my brother was, and sneered at [...]
What I love most about this hobby is you never know what you’re making until it’s done. I had no idea I was making a sweet yeast cake. It just said babka in the magazine. And so, I made babka (which of course, I didn’t know what that meant until I googled it). Blog this! [...]
I look forward to Saturdays. Saturdays are reserved for getting the weekly groceries. Last week the supermarket had figs on special. Hmmm… Specials. I love Specials, the Chinese in me just can’t help it. We have been jet-setting in February (which is why it has been so quiet around here lately). So to kick-start things, [...]
Today felt like Christmas. Not because Santa came by 11 months too soon but remember as a kid you would jump out of bed before anyone else did on Christmas morning? That feeling. Let me start from the beginning. G’s dad has a fantastic garden filled with fruit and vegetable plants. We grow our own [...]
