And she made the fourth one in a week

Carrots were awfully cheap today. At 49cents a kilo, I grabbed two bags without second thoughts. Avocados were 49cents each, and so was a whole 2.5kg bag of oranges at an incredible 99cents. In they went into my shopping cart and before I knew it, I had spent a whoppping century figure today for groceries. Mum used to tease my fully-stocked pantry, as if I was preparing for the end of the world. But I like a filled pantry.

My maiden attempt at a carrot cake (well what else can I make? I've got tonnes of carrots now) almost went awry. Seconds after I gleefully closed the oven door, I realised that I had not used the baking powder and bi carb soda! Alarm bells rang, triggering an immediate retrieval of the dough from the oven. Quickly and evenly, I mixed the two missing ingredients into the cake mix and returned the pan into the oven. Thankfully, all was not lost and my carrot cake is yet, another success.

I should also mention that I attempted a roast pork today. Though absent-mindedly forgetting to wrap the bacon around the pork as per the recipe, it scores a pass by my standards. Guess it deserves a photo too.
