KB is back in town, KB is back in tooowwwn (sang to the tune of Thin Lizzy’s “The Boys are Back in Town”. It’s 2020 and it’s time I got back to blodgging. The plan is to share a couple of recipes a month, some old favourites, some new. Some sweet, some savoury. Might even do a tutorial here and there for the keen bakers out there. Each post will be kept short and sweet with easy to digest information and a delicious treat at the end of it for you!

I am gonna get real with you now and speak some truths. Social media is a great communicative tool but it is also the worst thing man has invented. One too many times I have found myself feeling "upset" or "annoyed", to some extent, due to internetty things. I woke-up one morning to discover, to my horror, that I had lost 12 instagram followers over night! I was in shock. I was anxious. I was like "WHAT HAVE I DONE WRONG?!" After a good few minutes of searching through my list of followers I slowly calmed down. I remembered real life. I remembered nature and animals. Most importantly, I remembered enjoying food in real life and how a picture of food is NOTHING in comparison. As if I got upset that a number decreased. In the real world, what does that even mean?! Is the number of instagram followers I have going to define my life? HELLZ NO!

You are probably sick and tired of hearing me complain about how busy I am at uni. Tough tatties. It's my final year and I will cry if I want to. It will all be over in a matter of months don't worry. I will be handing in my last every piece of coursework on Friday. Then all I have to deal with is the small matter of my dissertation followed by exams! PAH! My oh my hasn't this week just flown by! This week I realised the only cure to a bad day is carbs. Preferably fried. Preferably cheesey. Seriously. As soon as you sink your teeth into the greasy goodness of your carb of choice, all your worries will melt away. Who cares if it is bad for you. Your tastebuds sure don't. I had a hard day at placement. Most people assume Speech and Language therapy is all about stutters/stammers. I will have you know that that is just a teeny weeny specialist area of the profession. My placement is at a Neurological Rehab Centre, and I work with a range of patients from those with Traumatic Brain Injuries to Stroke patients to those with degenerative diseases such as MS and MND. It's tough but really very interesting.
