My Apologies...

Sorry I haven't written .. I've been busy moving (Still!) Into an apartment with a teeeeny tiny kitchen (and oven) :( .... also it's electric.. So this blog MIGHT get a little weird, more like an experimental project in cooking in such a kitchen.. Luckily I will however have more time to actually blog, and I'll have to cook more for myself .. and maybe some lucky friends ? (lucky... ? we'll see...)
Anyway! I should be moved in this weekend and from that point on you can harass me for more...

Currently I am working on baking a Coconut Cream Layer Cake, which...
