It's back to the 'daily grind' after an extended holiday!

These days, I don't shop much for clothes - so while I was in land of high street labels I ended up frequenting the supermarkets the most. Selfridges food hall; Waitrose; M&S... I think 2/3 of my 'spoils' from the trip were groceries/ baking-related stuff. Madness! At times I got so carried away thinking I'd need XX ingredient for some imaginary cake that I haven't even conceptualised properly - that I bought quite a few things first before really knowing what I'd use them for! Am also running out of storage space in my kitchen! That's a kiasu baker for you :P

Am trying to cook up a Christmas menu of sorts this week/ next week. I've already had a few failed attempts last week, hopefully my luck will improve this week! I literally think about what cakes to make/ try all day long... So while I don't have a 9-5 job for now, life is pretty stressful too, in a pretty different way. I suppose I should be happy/ relieved that I am still relatively passionate about baking - and hopefully it will somehow work out monetarily in the longer term...
