Fooding Round Up

Scale of Edibility for reference

They don't look appetizing. They look like burned up purple muck, which is exactly what it is. My second failed attempt at a macaroon, is better than the first. In the first attempt the macaroons where soft and were sticking to the baking tray. Solution? Put water over it. Bad Terrible idea. I think that's where I went wrong because then the macaroons turned into this pink glue like paste. It went over the line of edible and inedible. It was inedible. At least in the second attempt I got the macaroons off the baking tray. Solution? Put water under it (why didn't I think of that before?), then wait for a few seconds and take them off! I'm not going to show you the fail macaroons because... well who would want to see them? They do not bring giddiness or lust like my sister's cake does...

My sister on the other hand, had better luck with her baking. Then again she's like this cooking prodigy of our family, so 90% of the time she gets it right. Mum's talent is what she got. She baked this lemon sponge cake or orange and lime cake with lime drizzle, as she calls it. That's a mouthful, I know. These days people name food with such long, detailed titles. To me cake is cake and lemon is lemon. And not blah and blah with whatnot. Back to the topic, her cake is delicious. It's a great cake for the hot weather, light and spongy.

Rating these foods on the Scale of Edibility I made they score:
1st attempt macaroons - 3
2nd attempt macaroons - 4
My sisters cake - 8

My sisters cake

Looking good, eh?

Don't be jealous, I'm just off to savour this baby...
