*357 - believe


One of my rare savoury, non-dessert baking attempts: Baked pork with apple slices, sprinkled with cinnamon and brown sugar. Pork and apples go together really nicely!

Firefly assessment today was hellish. I'm off to look into study loans etc because all hopes of getting a scholarship have been vanquished.

I'm actually really sad about this but I don't even want to think about it anymore. Spare me the torture of having to relive today please.

Whited because I realise it could be a sensitive issue.

I realised that by hanging on to all the acceptances, I'm depriving people of a place in the universities. I actually didn't think I was, until Amy mentioned that she was on the waiting list for a particular US university. And I was like OOPS I think it's people like me who are making other hopeful people around the world wait in nervous anticipation while I obliviously go about my life ignoring the (almost) daily letters and parcels from the various universities that I am going to reject, but haven't, because of sheer, inexcusable laziness.

Will get that done soon.

Note to self: also settle housing.

Strawberries are pretty but strawberries are sometimes sour. But I learnt a trick from Mr Boss, which is to sprinkle the sour ones with a bit of icing sugar. I love how the chopped bits look so ridiculously red in this photo; I suspect it has something to do with the sunlight shining cheerily on them.

And since we had strawberries, I decided to make dessert crepes!




Strawberry slices, melty chocolate chips, and a dusting of sugar folded into a crisp, piping hot crepe. These were such a hit that everyone downed a few at once, and the crepes disappeared faster than they could even be made.
