One Goal Down! Whoot!

So My many followers (hahaha) May have noticed I can upload Pictures now! WHOOOOO!
Kira; 1, to do list...... *sigh* 3.... At least.

So today was a day of frantic baking and cooking.

I started with making a banana cake as I rescued 5 bananas from Husband who wanted to put them in the bin..... I instead intended to eat them! Using this; Awesome banana cake recipe.
However, my bananas were kinds little so I put 3 in instead of 2...... and..... well..... This happened;
Not my proudest baking moment! However Sister-in-laws arrived and throughly enjoyed it! It was lovely and moist and Lera even commented how nice the crunchy base was! (I iced it upside down to try to hide the huge dip in the middle..... It didn't work :() So not a total failure.

I shall try again with the other nanas that I've frozen.


The marshmallow and I also made something very special for Lunch but for you to understand it's true awesome-ness I'll need to lay out some background.

My mum has old-timers and is in a home about 1400 k's from my town. It doesn't bother to to much however because I don't let it. But that's a whole other blog all together! However I try to talk about her to the kidlets as much as I can. To kind of keep a part of her around us. And I'm starting to do this with food.

Mum's fried rice was famous!! In high school my friends would come visit and They'd barely be in the door before they were asking mum to feed it to them.
One new years eve I was having party, and my friend Jake came round to help me set up. he asked my mum if she had any, (Normally she kept some in the fridge for occasions such as these.) today there was none. Jake looked disappointed and got back to work. It seened immediately later Mum was in the back yard with a fresh steaming bowl of rice with bowls and spoons and e were having a picnic under out pear tree. Mum always did Love Jake. She thought he was #1 potential son-in-law material. Hmmm..... No! He's been with my bestie for over 6 years now.

That was a really long story just to tell you I made it for the first time today. Left overs in the fridge ready for visitors :D. I think the Husband even liked it.

And so...

OK So I would LIKE to blog...... I would like to do a lot of things that I suck at actually. But fuck it I'll try!

I would like to bake awesome baked awesomeness!

I would Like to photograph everything I do and take more Pictures of the kidlets. (I have 3 btw)

I would like to play with wool and pointy things a lot more often and maybe document it so people who appreciate those kind of things will say 'ooooooo' and 'Ahhhhhh' coz the husband doesn't give a shit!

I would like to learn how to sew and make clothes for the kidlets.



But for now I'll start with today!

We made marshmallow squares using this; Rice crispy treats recipe (However I refuse to call them 'rice crispy treats' as i'm an Australian and I don't know what rice crispy's are!)
An exciting an sticky adventure that resulted me me eating a but load of the mixture out of the bowl instead of leaving it to set. And this is why my ass is the size of Perth!

I also just realized why I'm not a great blogger. WAY not computer literate and can't put the photos from my camera on to the computer.

Husbands a computer geek you see. 'Oh good!' I hear you say, 'He can help you on your blogging adventures and upload pictures for you.' "NAY' I say, 'For that is precisely the problem!'

The 'media centre' (where photo's live) needs to calibrated onto the c-drive and uploaded onto the server in Paraguay or some shit like that. All I hear is 'blah blah blah computer!'

Anyway, will post pics of marshmallow squares maybe sometime next year :D.

Or the next day.....
