The dramatic cook is back – apologies for the hiatus – I have played the biggest April Fool’s prank with you all – by being absent for the whole month of April!!
Junior is scolding me big time and threatening that all my followers will be vanishing.
I reasoned that I am writing the blog for my own pleasure and refuse to feel guilty.
I did many projects during my absence, you can see from the pictures of my beautiful results. The dramatic cook has many talents. All my projects could be found in www.knitty.com or www.ravelry.com.
And if you are in the New Jersey area, remember to come to our performance of Julius Caesar, directed by humbly yours! (see poster)
Spring slowly crept in and is almost gone. It is my pleasure to change some of my pics here to reflect the season. There are hyacinths, lilies, tulips, columbines, etc. in my garden and yes, they are all perennials. I always marvel at the fact that there is so much life beneath the earth during the deep winter. All I did was planting once, and these flowers come back year after year.
Whilst I am writing, I am waiting for my Japanese sponge cake to be cooled – how can I leave you with no mentioning of food!
This is a new recipe that I am trying – absolutely no oil! The original recipe is attached here. I did not have caster sugar, so I just used the organic sugar that I have. I also don’t know what it means by “the eggbeater leaves a thin ribbon”, so I just beat the egg and sugar mixture for around 12 minutes as suggested. The result – the center collapsed a bit too much, but it smells good and I can’t wait to taste it.
Happy 1st of May and this is my month. I hope I will not let you wait too long for my next blog. Meantime, make the best use of each new day and don’t forget to try something new whenever you can, like me.
