Day 354 of 365: Ohhhh.....FAIL!

I had it in my head that I was going to have a "girlie day" today..consisting of a good leg shave (TMI, I know...), plucking my eyebrow(s), and then baking.

I found recipes online that use Splenda. Ian is diabetic, so I wanted to try something different.

I found a recipe for an apple and cinnamon cake, as well as blueberry muffins. Well, I didn't have any blueberries, so I used strawberries.

Here I thought I'm a baking genius!

Well the muffins are darker than I thought they would be:


And the cake is not a cake...it's apple mush:


Oh well. Ian and I will still eat them, because they cooked long enough to be safe, but not the result I wanted.

FAIL!

Day 153 of 365: Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head

Yet another rainy day today. *sighs* Is it ever going to end?

So, what did I do to pass the time? I baked banana bread, and made a sort of chili con carne concoction in the slow cooker (which is older than me, I tell ya!).

I had a bag of crisps at lunch, and wondered if anyone else does this:

I don't know if it's a Romsey thing or what, but we tie our crisps bags in order to save more room in the bin.

Anyone else do this?

Day 43 of 365: Something Tells Me I'm Into Something Good

Mmmm...

Made dinner for my brother I and tonight. Whole wheat spaghetti, sauce, and a bunch of eggplant parmesan.

Not bad, if I do say so myself. Once I get to England though I want to try and make my own from scratch. Although, Ian's not a fan of eggplant. Oh well....I'll make his chicken.
