Finished Flutter Scarf

Yeah! Finished! Finally!

Blocking - still don't know what I'm doing here. I really wanted to make the "flutter" a bit more fluttery, but it's back-breaking work this blocking.

But I'm loving the scarf; even the color is ok now that it's been washed and blocked.

I hope you like it, F. Merry Christmas!!

Oh yes - that's Creative Commitment Knitting number 1 for 2010 accomplished. Now to start (and finish) CC Knitting number 2 for 2010.

Monkey See; Monkey Do

I was just monkeying around the kitchen... I had some dough leftover from baking dinner rolls and cinnamon buns (yeah - it was alot of dough!) and I had seen this idea from the Pioneer Woman previously. Cinnamon, butter, sugar and a dash of sweetened condensed milk - yes please!!! Ok, so maybe, just maybe, I accidentally on purpose put some dough aside just so I could indulge in this .... well, indulgence. And what an indulgence - worse still, an easy indulgence as I already had the dough. Caramelised cinnamon sugar with a bit of bread covered with sweetened condensed milk. I don't think I really need to say more. And, in honour of Father's Day, we had special "WE heart DADDY" pancakes... ok ok - I ran out of time, energy and ideas this year. (Note to self - try harder next year!) Don't mock the banana - at $12.99/kg this is a real treat. Unfortunately Daddy was too slow and Little Miss M took it and ate it. It might be Father's Da

Hmmm - a quick look in the fridge (oops - no cream cheese) and a nostalgic feeling for those supersweet iced cakes from the supermarket and the Orange Cake with Orange Icing won the day. Next decision - should I have a slice now warm out of the oven, or should I let it cool, ice it and then have a slice? BOTH!!! The recipe can be found here . I added a couple of drops of Orange Oil in the frosting as my orange was not orange-y enough. Citrusy, moist, and extra yummy with some Girly Grey Tea (from T2). Perfect morning tea.
