"Tastes like Sadness"

I was sold at a review that said "texture of a cheap sponge, and tasted like sadness but my boyfriend liked it :')"

Pete is out, Brit is asleep and work has been hard and long and even after a tasty Spanish Omlette and Salad for tea I still had a cake shaped whole in my life.

I contemplated proper cake baking but didn't fancy the clean up - even if tgey new kitchen layout makes that a lot easier so I figured it's time to try a mug cake.

[5 mins later, including googling time]

Yep, that is cake - I wonder why no one has started selling 'cup o' cake' like tasty cup of soup.

It's not great cake, but I've made worse with more effort and I have a little bit of that warm cakey hug.

Maybe something to be refined, maybe I should just make more / better cakes - I made a satsuma upside down cake the other day and having slices of that was little slices of sunshine.

Good day at the office..

... Had the first of two weekend open days in Feb (there's a bunch of Wednesdays ones too) and it's deep in Interview season. Today consisted of 2 very bouncy talks on our awesome portfolio of awards, a big mac meal wolfed down in a couple of mins and between us we interviewed around 40 students (and some of them were very, very good - next years intake is looking awesome) Not much else, Pete has the Bear & Pheasant tonight so I'm going to put my feet up, watch The Clone Wars DVD that turned up and relax a bit. I'm currently full of chocolate, marshmallows and white citrus tea, having watched the last part of The Art of Russia - making me want to go back to Russia and wishing I'd have been a bit freeier too explore when I was there. One day I'll go back, take Pete, learn to tell the difference between sour cream and mayonnaise and stay away from the cabbage dumplings, especially for breakfast. But it's been a very busy week - got invited down to an awes...
