My friend Crl told me recently that November was upon us and it was almost time to soak raisins in rum (for Christmas cake). And that statement plus all the wonderful baking happening on Rachel Allen’s Cake Diaries made me want to bake a cake more than anything else ever did! Determined to make som
It’s not how much we give but how much love we put into giving. – Mother Teresa Truly, there is more happiness in giving than receiving. The joy is in watching your kid’s face light up as he unwraps the gifts left by Santa as a token of appreciation for his good behaviour during the year. It i
The 6th semester at college was a very trying period for me. We had to undergo Software Engineering, which was the most boring subject ever.
