adventures in kitchen-less eating

This post is not about baking at all. Sorry. But it definitely has the 'bucket' aspect and it's about food, so whatevs.



I'm living out of hotel room at the moment, which means no kitchen and a lot of takeaway/overpriced room service. My waistline and my bank account agree that this is not a very satifactory way of living. I had the morning off yesterday so I decided to adventure to the supermarket in an attempt to appease said body part and bank account.

What follows is not particularly inventive, I guess, but maybe just a reminder that you can do a lot with not much :)

apologies

for the lack of posting. I've been away for work for the last month and I still don't know when I'll be back. I am suffering hardcore baking withdrawals. We were living in a very basically stocked apartment for a week, so I went out and bought a $3 cake tin in an attempt to get a fix. Couldn't justify buying all the ingredients I needed for a cake, so I went the box-mix route.

Turns out I suck at packet mix cakes. Chocolate fudge cake turned out more like pudding (tasted yum though), and brownies were more like toffee.

So demoralising.

I can't wait to get back to my own kitchen with proper ingredients and an oven I am in tune with.

Scones with jam and tea

Today, like pretty much every day, is a good day for scones. This recipe is crazy simple, and also the pinacle of bucket baking because there actually isn't a recipe.

rhubarb & white choc muffins

* egg & (almost) dairy free *

Yuuuum. This morning I got to town early enough to buy a muffin for breakfast. Raspberry & white chocolate. And then I was reading a post at pioneer woman about rhubarb cobbler.

Bam. It hit me. Rhubarb muffins. Perfect with apple sauce to replace eggs.

So when I got home from work this evening, instead of the millions of things I actually need to do, I got my bake on. Checked out a few recipes online, but meh, who needs a recipe?
