| Might Skip Dinner |
I don't know why but I feel like I should be baking cakes or something. If you're familiar with my blog then you'll know that baking is not something that I do very often, I get shaky at all the science involved, way too much precision needed for my instinctive cooking approach.
But yeah it's Valentine's and I'm thinking cakes. I feel like I should make The Glutenite a cake or something - not that he eats cake - I don't know why I'm associating today with cake at all but it's happened before.
Years ago I had the same feeling, a need to make him a cake. Again something you'll know if you read my posts, I don't follow recipes. Ever. I have done in the past and they've never been to my liking, with baking this is obviously a big problem as I have no instincts for this kind of sorcery.
I decided upon a chocolate sponge cake in the shape of a heart. Flour, butter, eggs, coco powder, it should have gone quite well as I can make a decent fairy cake but no. The heart shape was quite good, but the texture, oh gosh, the texture was hard, like a cross between a chewy biscuit and a very bad brownie.
Aside of some savoury things and the odd fairy cake here and there I stay away from baking. I could tell you about my last disaster which was an attempt to recreate Hot Pockets in gluten free form, but I won't. Maybe one day when I'm less embarrassed.
Our 'romantic' dinner this evening is KFC style chicken, chips and gravy. It's a very loose interpretation but pretty delish all the same. I guess it's the non restricted diet version of being taken to KFC for a Valentine dinner, except you have to cook it yourself. I'm essentially cooking my own bargain bucket tonight.
I blame Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
Happy Valentine's! :)
