What a month May was, it flew by in the blink of an eye. It is official, my father has retired for the last time (I hope). Last time he retired, he was on a week’s retirement before the company came back knocking on the door, asking him to come back… fast forward 10 years … Continue reading Tea time tray cake

I have been out of the kitchen for 2 weeks, give or take a few days. My dad was on leave and well, that means one thing for me. He is in charge of cooking. Let’s just say, he was in a bad mood all holiday long, I ate two weeks worth of Mr D … Continue reading Avocado chocolate cup cakes

What a long week this has been, and boy am I glad that it is finally over. It started off with x-links crashing globally and well, when you work in retail customers tend to scream at you for the world crashing. I have been screamed at, spit at and had my fortune told to me … Continue reading No bake Kiri cheesecake

Wow, where do I begin. It has been ages since I have sat down to type and write and let the words just flow. Lately all my times seems to be devoted to work, work and more work.

The past 2 birthdays I didn’t celebrate, the first one, being that My Uncle and I were two … Continue reading Lemon cream ice box cake

What a year this has been so far. I know it’s only 8 days into the new year, but to me it feels like it is already June. The first day of the year, I landed up injuring the bottom of my foot from my own stupidity. I was too lazy to undo the laces … Continue reading Eggless Hungarian Tart

Growing up, my mother was known for her milktarts. Whenever we went somewhere or got invited to a function, you could bet your last dollar that she would be whipping up milktarts to take. She even had 2 special brown pie glass dishes that were only reserved for her milktarts. She still has those 2 … Continue reading Malva milktart
