poofed out!


its actully nice out, not cold at all. sorta warm/mild. no more snow yay.
heres a pic i took wen it was snowy.

torn up memories

been going thru all my old clothes, and my siblings old baby clothes, cutting some up for material scraps but mainly getting rid of. so many memories in these clothes. feels almost sinful to take the knife to it. mum is moving soon. cornwall. part of me wishes to go with, be part of the family again. but it cant be that way, not cus i dont want. cus she hates me for getting married.
seems odd that i grew up with one way of thinking, that i thought was mine but it was just a copy from my parents.
and yet, they want you to be independant and leave but they still think you are the baby they had 20 years ago.
it wud be cool if transporters were real. i cud press a button and see my grandma. or go back and feel my grandpa's old soft wrinkly hands..his smile..his reasuring calmness about the future..maybe cus he had lived 100 years.
omer wishes to see his family..why are families split up? why wait for the ringing saying someone u love has died.

ime, coconut, ginger

yesterday i made lime, coconut and ginger cake. it was good and i made it without a recipe! just from my head, amazin.
heres the recipe if u want to ever try it:



For the cake:


2-3 Tesco sponge mixes
150ml of water
2 eggs
2-3 teaspoons of ground ginger
packet of desicated coconut


For the icing:

1 lime
packet of icing suger
vinnila esscence
butter or other


ok, first get a mixing bowl. then put in the sponge mixes, eggs (without shell) and 150ml of water, mix it together, using beaters or a spoon.
Then add some coconut, how much you use is up to you, it depends on how coconuty you want it. i used like 4 tablespoons.
put in the ginger, how much again is up to you.
beat it again, make sure the mixture is not to runny or thick, when you move the spoon and make ripples in the mixture, the ripples should move slowly back in.
now grease the pan, either use a big flat rectangle dish like 25cm x 38cm or a round cake pan. the cake will rise to about 8-10cm. grease the pan with butter, thickly, as oil is not thick enough.

put it on on 5, and leave it there for 30-40 mins.

after the cake is golden brown take it out and leave to cool.

for the icing : wash up the mixing bowl and dry it, put in a few big heaped spoons of butter, and shake in some icing suger enough that wud go over the cake, mix together slowly till it forms a paste, squezze the lime and put the juice in, add the vanilia essence, stir it till its the right consistancy, and put it on the cake.

now wait till the icing hard and eat it!
