Freshly baked cookies make your whole house smell delicious. Some people love baking, while others just don’t have the patience for it. Just remember, with baking, it’s important to carefully follow the recipe. If you don’t use the right amount of each ingredient, your cookies could come out hard as a rock.

I can bake, if it is necessary, but only  if there are simple recipies.The last time I was baking  something  about a year ago. Thats because it is not my hobby. I prefer to cook healthy dishes. But from another side, I like to try homemade cakes. I am like Ella,  who hates process of baking, but who loves the end results of it.

I would absolutely love to be good at baking and cooking seeing as I love food!!! :D But like Ella I’m too impatient plus somehow my baking always goes totally wrong so I have kind of given up on trying. For example I tried to make these delicious sounding toffee sesame slabs about a week ago and the recipe said you were supposed to stir it untill the sugar dissolved. So I stirred and stirred but as always my sugar didn’t dissolve :D So I ended up with a huge lump of hard inedible sugar. Great! Baking really is a mystery to me. I generally leave it to other more talented people to bake for me and I gladly take over the eating part. :)


My favourite thing to bake is a Victoria sponge cake because it’s a very simple recipe and it tastes delicious. Yum! I think I’ll go and make one in a minute as a kind of midnight snack to keep me going till the morning. ;) And no, before anyone asks: Miraculously I am not fat yet but who knows!? Everything has it’s time and place. ;)

I sometimes really like to bake but it has to be easy and quick. I don´t follow the recipe always, because sometimes I´m too lazy to weight the ingredience. What I´m really into when I´m baking is to watch the brownies or whatever in the oven.

When my wife and I were newlyweds, she baked some bread and cokies for me.


omg ;;;;; I had to say her “It’s Delicious!! Good!!” As you would already have known, it was the first time for her to bake something for me. It should not be delicious!!! It looked like a monster which we can see from a movie, The Spiriting Away Of Sen And Chihiro, 2001.


 Whenever I think back on that time, it makes me smile.Smile
