	Almond Croissants by Li Do you have a cafe that you go to frequently as a meeting place? Somewhere that you can call the 'usual place' and others will know what you're referring to?

	4-Ingredient Nutella Cookies by Li It's Monday again. It just insists on rolling around every six days, doesn't it? I've been fortunate enough to be on a two week break from classes, but as it's Monday, it means it has officially ended. It's sad news, people.Luckily I've got something to give you that isn't so sad. Right the opposite. Especially if you love nutella -…	1 vote 362 views
	Apple Pie by Li It took a while, but it's finally starting to feel like fall here in Sydney. The trees are turning red and fading brown; there's the sharp crunch of dried leaves under your feet as you walk down the street. In the supermarket, piles of apples tower above everything else.There is was a pile of apples in my home too. Last week when I…	1 vote 454 views
	Strawberry and Cream Biscuits by Li I went to Orange last weekend on a road trip which, while woefully lacking the presence of real oranges, did have plenty of beautiful fall colored trees in various shades of orange, brown and red. It's known as the 'color city' and you can see why.Orange is packed full of natural produce. There is an abundance of farms, vineyards and…	1 vote 325 views
	Cherry Cheesecake Trifle for One & Liebster Award by Li One of my favorite quick snacks when I'm hungry but lazy is to spread cream cheese on a digestive biscuit and add a dollop of jam on top. What you get out of this is a mouthful that tastes almost exactly like cheesecake. I thought posting about that would be just too little effort for this blog, even for me, so I fancied it up a…	1 vote 346 views
	Apple Muffins by Li Everyone has a Pile of Deadlines. Mine is usually split into "Work I Want To Do" and "Work I Will Do Anything To Avoid". Well, the latter pile is just starting to explode on me this week.Muffins are the perfect thing to make when you're buried under that pile of work that you still don't quite want to touch. They are fast and easy.…	1 vote 367 views
	Chinese Scallion Pancakes by Li I needed a break from sweet things.So I made pancakes, Asian-style.Super flaky and crispy ones, almost like flatbread.And then demolished them all.Try it.Chinese Scallion PancakesIn a bowl, place the flour and make a hole in the center. Pour 1/2 cup of water into the hole and stir the mixture together with a spoon (or your hands, if…	0 votes 317 views
	Red Wine Chocolate Cake by Li Red Wine Chocolate CakeLet's talk cake. Of the chocolate variety, since there hasn't been one on this site yet and it's been over a month and that is just crazy.Exams are over. Yes. After a hellish week of sleep deprivation, countless midnight instant coffees and the overwhelming desire to start a bonfire with my textbooks, I've…	0 votes 430 views
	Coconut Macaroons by Li It's probably not the most enjoyable or easy-going thing to be sitting in a car with your L-licensed daughter at the wheel... at anytime, really. Especially when she misses the exit on a roundabout and does a full 360 - without signalling - with the foot on the accelerator. Yet my parents have managed to live through every one of my…	0 votes 260 views
	Strawberry Honey Jam by Li Double, double toil and trouble;Fire burn and cauldron bubble.-- Macbeth, Act IVI'm not sure why, but the thought of making jam has always made that verse in Macbeth jump into my head. Something about the thought of standing over a big pot of boiling fruit and sugar for hours reminds me of the three witches surrounding their bubbling…	0 votes 333 views
