Starting a Blog...

...something I never thought I'd do. I've never been the best at English or spelling (although I do love a good game of Scrabble) but I've found something I love and want to share not only my passion for cooking but experiences and tips as a student.
It probably won't be very interesting, and I'll be amazed if anyone actual reads this but whilst I've been sat at home enjoying the last of the summer before uni (in other words with too much time on my hands) I found myself writing a list of things I'd write about if I was ever brave enough to do it and this is the result...

I started a separate insta account in Feburary (@veggie_student_life go give it a follow 😉) while bored at uni. Most people have a second account that's private to a select few friends that they spam with funny pictures of birthday posts but I started to share pics of my food! From the start of uni I'd always been taking photos of my food that I'd send to my parents almost every day - mainly because after being anorexic over the summer they didn't think I'd actually eat but also because I was enjoying cooking and proud of the things I was making. The food I make/bake isn't the fanciest but it tastes good, and is often cheap (I'm a student surviving on a budget of just over 10 quid a week😅).

So enjoy...

Little Life Update - Lockdown

So this is all a bit strange ... on our 4th week of lockdown! To be honest, I actually really enjoyed it to start with, getting time to spend with my family that I wouldn’t have had normally, but I think it’s fair to say we’re all getting a bit fed up with it now!! Not helped by the weather changing from nice sunshine last week to rain or the fact that I’m getting ever closer to exams but the mood has definitely changed. In the first couple of weeks, to make up for some special events we were due to go to but were obviously cancelled, we had a couple evenings all round the table - I cooked a big three course meal, we all dressed up and actually had a good time! Last week, it was dad’s birthday, something to look forward to and celebrate, we tried to make it special for him with our first bbq of the season!! Always a favourite, I made all the trimmings and we had an amazing evening out in the garden! Right now, we don’t have anything to look forward to, but I’m hoping we will do somet...

Profitaroles

Profiteroles So although I have plenty of uni assignments and revision still to do which is taking up the majority of my time - my preventing the usual shopping trips, coffee dates and ladies that lunch escapes - lock-down is giving me plenty of time. Last week, in need of a new challenge, I started looking up recipes for profiteroles! Something I never really used to like eating to be honest but had a sudden craving for - so strange how these things come and go. I've never attempted choux pastry before, in fact the only time I've seen it made is on Bake off! But they often make it look so easy - probably cause they're much better bakers than me, but you don't know till you try right?!! Thinking it could be an absolute disaster - and not wanting to use up all the rationed eggs! - I adapted a recipe I found on the ever faithful BBC Good Food App - I found that with these reduced quantities I made about 12 well sized profiteroles - decide for yourself how many that...
