Here is my feeble attempt at joining a world that I love. I feel like I'm in high school, a dorky kid so longing to fit in with the cool kids of the blog world. But alas, my style is not so cool and I my be destined to hang by myself unless I can fin some way to inadvertently cry out "I'm here, I'm cool in my own way".Maybe I will resort to being a class clown or a smart ass, all the things that got me through awkward childhood. Or maybe my obsessive love of food and life will spill on to these pages bringing pleasantries and wittiness, and of course lots of amazing foodgasm inducing dishes.
It might be strange to start my very first post with a failure but I figured I could only go up from here. Or fail again, which is bound to happen, but we will wait and see.
I recently purchased a bag full of kumquats from the lovely Pike Place Market and finding myself not in the mood to pop the lovelies directly in my mouth, I wanted to find a way to use them before they went bad. What better way to use fruit than to make a cake, right? Since I have recently been attached to my lap top (I have discovered my love for food blogs and cannot be parted from them) I decided to scour the internet for the most delicious sounding recipe. I came across a recipe for infused vodka, I really should have stopped there. But then came a recipe that seemed to scream to me; Coconut kumquat tea cake. Hubba hubba. After wiping my mouth to remove the stream of drool on my chin I gathered all of the ingredients called for. Lucky for me my kitchen is like a grocery store so I didn't need to run out for any ingredients. I put it all together and waited as it baked. It smelt soooo good. That was as good as it got. The cake was gummy and flavorless and left a horrible after taste in my mouth. Such sadness and disappointment.
After all that I decided that what I really wanted was a few kumquats to munch on.
*Sorry for no picture. It was far more sad than the cake!
