Insane Asylum

Boi howdy have I been slack... again. Kinda have the excuse that it is because the internet is on a go slow. It takes ages to upload photos and even load pages. Sheesh.

Got my hair cut a little bit shorter. This time she mentioned having an undercut.... errrrr nah! Told her no dice. Apparently it does suit me. I have never had random people just compliment me before. Just random 'I like your hair' walks away.

Arrived a little early to the hairdressers which is on King St so I went for a walk. Saw this house which had a hand written sign in the front window 'Insane Asylum' it said. And a stack of VHS on the fence????

Met up with Ellie at The Oaks again. She is off an an overseas posting for work and I am not doing anything as exciting as that. We actually went upstairs this time for a wander about. I nicked some lollies from the pokies room too. They were in a jar label free for guests, but it makes me feel devious to use the word 'nicked', makes it sound more dangerous.

Hadn't seen Emma in what felt like an eon. I decided to bring a dessert. Em is lactose free. I like to make 'special' food for friends, I like to search to find something interesting and it also means that I have some limitations which helps in my planning. I finally found out what Ambrosia is and was going to make a vegan Chocolate and Avocado cake. What!! Yeah, didn't though. Used way to much avo for me to test on a friend it does look good though. In the end I settled on a Nanna dessert. High in fruit and texture, not too intense on flavour. I will make this again. Must learn to trust my instincts more often in cooking. I make this stuff knowing it won't work, but go along with it because it has been printed somewhere which must mean that it is truth... It needed more mixed spice in the cake, top was good. Would taste better with some ice-cream, custard or a yogurt I spose, basically needed some added wetness.
