Ants On Sticks

I am blaming T, my amazing flatmate, for my belly and the fat I must be carting around on my body each day. My amazing flatmate who came back from LA laden with edible goods, including:

All hail the massive Costco size Skippy Peanut. I also have a packet of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups a day. And nope my body won't tell lies for me. So I dragged myself off to the gym tonight after a binge-eating weekend and came home to have a bowl of soup, spinach, and Ants on Sticks.

My rule of eating Ants on Sticks: I only eat one raisin at a time. One bite for each raisin. I know, OCD.

I don't really remember eating them as a child, probably because I did use to be one of the pickiest eaters and would refuse to eat both peanut butter and celery. Good thing I realised I was missing out before too late. I am now officially addicted to this snack, and the feeling that I am consuming "negative calories" thus being really healthy and all that.

Not.

P.S. My Lemon whatever it was below actually received positive responses from my flatmates, and one Saturday evening, for reasons that will not be mentioned, we dipped it all in condensed milk and at it all up, every single slice. Guess it didn't turn out too bad after all.


Not like you'd really need one, but 

Lemon I-Don't-Know-What-It-Is

You know when something just goes wrong with your baking and you can't stop poking at it, tasting it, chopping off bits to taste it, eat a whole chunk to see if that makes any difference, add stuff to it, pop it back in the oven, then keep opening and closing the oven door and still not be able make it better?

That's what happened to me today.

I don't really know what went wrong. If I did it wouldn't have done would it. The only reason could be that I forgot to add in eggs and poured the batter back out to add the eggs before putting it back in. But I don't know, surely it wouldn't have made that much of a difference.

Brown sugar and butter creamed together is heaven. The taste, the smell, the sight of it. If you heat this and add condensed milk you get toffee.

Batter. Oh gosh I hate my crappy camera, I wish wish wish I hadn't left my G10 at home in Hong Kong. I'll be back in less than a month. In less than a month it will be Christmas eve. In 6 months I will be done with University. #scarythoughts

Have been cooking to destress. I made a Salmon Quiche / Pie the day before yesterday which luckily had better results than this. And for dinner today: N, who used to never be able to cook anything in his life except a cheese omelete, made a huge pot of Japanese curry. I stole some, poached an egg and added some celery (I was originally going to have "ants on sticks", that plan went out of the window).

So no recipe since "Lemon and Honey Bread" turned into "Lemon Whatever", but instead here are two HIMYM Season 7 Episode 10 lines which have been looping in my head: Just because something has to be said, doesn't mean something has to be heard. Just because you did bad things, doesn't mean you're a bad person. I wonder how many hearts these two lines have touched.
