The way that is best, especially considering I am on a no-eating-baking kick, I will make some slices and take them to my family to vote. I know this family is kind of crazy on the high calorie foods so I’m gonna skip the fruity/lemon/blueberry crumb bars all together… I hope this is a good decision!!

Tonight I will be making:

• Caramel Mocha Nut Slice
• Caramel White Chocolate Macadamia Slice
• Coffee Toffee Bars
• Florentine Slice

I really want to try out Nanaimo bars but I think they don’t quite keep up with the standards of the rest. My flatties and family are gonna be stoked with the leftovers…. off to the supermarket to buy CALORIES kthxbai

edit: decided against caramel white choc macadamia.. maybe next time…

what did I do
now I can’t win
just me alone
is how I will be

the pain in my heart
it’s unbearable
i want to forget everything
so i can sleep again

everything unfufiled
no more desire
no more love
no more time
every day i cry for you

i can’t take the revenge
the lack of respect
you’re breaking me down
this messing around

set me free
its all a lie
too much more of this
and im scared i will die

when we do nothing

are we not trying

do we not want

he sees it all

our words, our face

speak

so

much

Orange Almond Cake

3 Oranges
6 eggs
2 1/2 cups ground almonds (or 4 x 70g packs of ground almonds)
1 1/2 cup caster sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
superfine/icing/confectioners sugar for dusting

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Centigrade or 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and line 2 x 8″ tins or a 9″ spring form tin, or whatever you feel like.

Poach (cover orange in water, bring to boil and then simmer) whole clean oranges in water in a small saucepan.

Once they are “knife tender” then remove any seeds and pith from the center of the orange stem and put into food processor.

Process until pulpy then add remaining ingredients and mix until combined.

Bake for about 50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Serve with thick Greek honey flavored yogurt or cream, or just enjoy sprinkled with icing sugar.
