Saturday 22nd October - Successful baking!

Thursday evening neither of us could be bothered to cook so we headed to the Hervey Bay boat club for some dinner. Nothing much happened. Friday i worked and in the evening, because i finished at 4.30, we drove down to the esplanade and enjoyed the last hour of sunshine sitting outside in a restaurant for dinner. We then watched the wales vs australia rugby match...gaz got the time wrong so we missed the first half hour but i wasnt upset as i lost interest in the game after 5 minutes of watching. Gaz told me off for shouting OH GOD HOOKS GONNA MISS, HOOKS GONNA MISS...but i was right, he missed. Then once i stopped watching, my shouting was replaced with Gaz's 'OH FFS! and punching the bed with his fists.

Argh! today i did 2 lots of washing and the clothes have been hanging on the line. Ive noticed the grey clouds wafting over but i thought i would write the blog first before getting them in off the line. Ive just heard the rain start pouring on the roof...its a bit late to get them in now as the rain here is heavy :( Also i have been baking again today! not wanting to be defeated at the last attempt, i have returned to good old delia smith recipe. I went out and bought scales and a tube i can fill with icing and twist to squirt it out into patterns. The kitchen became a bomb site but i took my time and made the best cupcakes ive ever made! i was so happy, i took a photo. What i should do in future is bake on one day and decorate on another as i must admit after all the time spent baking, i did get a little bit bored by the time it came to decorating. Gaz was my taste tester and he didnt keel over so they must be ok! he hovered around me doing the butter icing and kept wanting to put his finger in for a taste like a little child! The only problem now is work is not until monday so i am now stuck with 10 amazingly tasty cupcakes in my cupboard...how can these NOT get eaten by us two!

We cant be bothered to cook again tonight so it looks like we are goin gto get a pizza take away. oops!
