busy sunday!

been feeling restless after a 6 months of self imposed isolation n inactivity..

for some, coming out of their shell may mean partying till the wee hours of the morning, all-niter at a friend's, as for me.. it's BAKE.. PLANT.. n.. SHOP..

it started with the apple and cinammon bran muffin which was too healthy to be satisfying, then i moved onto the lemon cup cakes complete with lemon butter cream icing and silver balls..
then, come my first attempt at SCONES! don't let it's deceptively benign appearance fool you.. there's quite a science to it's construction.. as i found out from 'good eats' (a tv series that satisfies both the chef and geek in me).. check out these babies.. i'm a domestic GENIUS!
then what coming out party would be complete without the quintessential comfort food - the Spag Bolg.. so i made those too..

in midst of all these baking n cooking i still managed to find time to pay homage to my happy place - Ikea and bought a bunch of things i don't need, and food i shouldn't eat (btw, been totally addicted to digestive biscuits, until i read the nutritional info on the packet and realised i'd be better off chomping down pure butter. hoping this swedish version would be better for me hips)..
plus, i planted more lettuces as some mysterious evil being (most likely in the form of slug or bird) has eaten all of my previous batch of seedlings.. (grrr!) .. which reminds me i gotta plant some beer bombs to murder some snails n slugs (amitabha.. well.. at least it's humane and organic!)..

AND.. graced the half year sale with my presence (at my bargain shopping mecca - Harbour Town), emerged 3 hours later as the proud new owner of a pair of sexy-but-in-a-classy-sorta-way knee high brown boots and two knitted tops!

and what's better to wind down a busy weekend with some fresh out of oven warm scones smoothered in butter and jam.. mmmm..
