July 2014

It's weird how there are some really simple things that I just can't make. For example, pop over to my house and ask for a cuppa, and what will you get is a cup of slightly brown milky water. Sounds real good right? I am probably gonna have a queue of people wanting to grab a cuppa with me. In all seriousness though, I really cannot make a cup of English tea. It probably has something to do with the fact that I don't like tea therefore I never really have any need to make it. My family have ginger tea which you make on the stove. Now that I can make. I remember on placement I had to make tea for my supervisor. It was lucky my tea making skills were not being assessed otherwise I would probably still be at uni!

It seems like forever since we last spoke!  It's been a busy ol' couple of weeks! Last friday I completed an intensive 2 week Level 1 British Sign Language Course which was great! I was amazed at how quickly I picked up (some) of the signs and learnt an awful lot about the deaf community. Very insightful. In between the sign language course I picniced, I swam in Hampstead Heath lido, I went to Liverpool for me pal's birthday, I went to Essex for me other pal's birthday and got very little sleep! You will be hearing a lot more from me now though, you might even get more than 1 post a week. That's right. That means even more bad jokes and, most importantly, pictures of food!

I may have mentioned this before but I do love a good picnic. What more can you want from your summer than to lie in the sun, eating and listening to music? I therefore decided I wanted to make July picnic month on this here KB.eats! I recently purchased (and by I, I mean Mother) a coupla new mini cake trays, one rectangular and one for sandwich cakes, so I thought mini cakes would be a great place to start for the picnic recipes! Oh yeah this is a 2 in 1 recipe post! That's right, two recipes in one post, OUTRAGEOUS!
Now I can hear the uproar building in the distance already as there is cream on the cakes and we all know cream isn't really that picnic friendly. Fear not, cream is not essential for either of the cakes, it just makes for a nice indulgent treat if you are perhaps having the picnic at home or having a garden party of sorts.
I just realised I haven't told you guys a joke in a while...
Do you know any sodium jokes?
