Okinomiyaki

Wild West Morningside
While we were walking in Morningside today, Tom grabbed my hand and took me off down a side street saying he had something awesome to show me. Assuming I knew the area pretty well, I couldn't imag...

Louise was back on a flying visit from Australia today and we were lucky enough to catch up with her for a while this afternoon. Montpelier's has had a lovely new makeover, so we decided to forgiv...

Mum's Birthday
It was my Mum's birthday today and as she's not a huge fan of super sweet cakes, I decided to bake her a rose meringue and black sesame ice cream cake. It tasted delicious and I loved the way it l...

Dad's Birthday
It was my Dad's birthday today and, as he's a Canadian who loves bacon, maple syrup and whiskey, I decided to bake him a maple & whiskey barrel cake filled with bacon flavoured popcorn. Everyo...

Though we were sleeping in separate capsules, Tom and I managed to wake up at exactly the same time this morning and headed out to catch the Shinkansen to Nara. We treated ourselves to matcha latte...
