So, I've been on uni holidays for the past seven weeks and I never thought that there was such a thing as too much time off. I'm one of those people that always has to be occupied or else the boredom kicks in. I started to learn Portuguese, thinking that already speaking Spanish would give me an advantage.

Boy, was I wrong.


Instead, I decided to hole myself up in my ridiculously small kitchen and just cook (usually bake) the days away. The amount of cakes, pastries, spreads (can I get a yeah for homemade Nutella?) and other types of food I have made has resulted in my family probably gaining a hell of a lot of kilos.

I think I have become so delirious with cooking that I have convinced myself that I will be the next Jamie Oliver or better yet, the delightful Nigella Lawson. She did start off as a journalist so maybe there is hope for me after all...
