I made two things from this British cookbook my friend Alan sent me – the first was an orange cake, which was rather delicious and also rather small; the second were white chocolate peanut butter blondies. They were okay, not great. I tried to double the recipe after the tiny orange cake, and I think they were way too floury.

which was awesome, I totally loved it, just as much as I did in high school. Next is Twelfth Night, which I’ve never read before, and then Hamlet.

so i got the keys today, and it’s ours – we actually went over tonight, just for an hour or so, to kind of say hello to the apartment without our realtor, and to put some of our stuff there – so now it’s our apartment, that we purchased, that we have keys to, and inside it is two typewriters, toilet paper, and a couple of paintings. symbolic, yet meaningful! i’m so excited.
