Purple Plum Cake

Purple Plum Cake by Li

This post marks the return of my picture-taking, food-writing habits. I'm sorry I've been away so long, but England rather sucked me in and wouldn't let me continue my blogging ways. My European extravaganza has been extremely successful and though I've left England almost a month ago, I've continued my pattern of being on the road -…

Sticky Banana, Walnut and Date Bread

Sticky Banana, Walnut and Date Bread by Li

Where oh where has September gone?My blog now has abandonment issues. The last few weeks have been crazy, but if you asked I actually wouldn't be able to pinpoint exactly why.
