Lets see how long my exercise plan lasts!


So bored

I'm bored and tired. That's why I am on the internet at the moment :frown: Yes, I am LIVING LIFE to the MAX!

I write a lot of stuff which involves me complaining about things, so I thought I would write about some stuff that I like.

Versunke-aepfel-kuchen : Sunken apple cake


Apple cake :smile:


The base recipe is from this book.


When I left Germany, I received two lovely cooking books :smile: Yesterday I baked a cake from the baking book.

Ingredients
250g butter
250g sugar
4 eggs
400g flour
1 tea spoon baking powder
2 apples
Cinamon
Extra sugar

Use room temperature ingredients.

I used a little less butter, sugar and flour than in the recipe. I used two apples, but I think three would have been better, as the cake would have been jucier.


What to do
1. Line your springform baking tin with paper or grease with butter and flour.
2. Cream butter and sugar.
3. Add the eggs one at a time and mix after each.
4. Combine the flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and then mix into the butter mixture.
5. Place the mixture into the baking tin.
6. Peel and quarter apples and then spread them over the mixture.
7. Sprinkle the top with cinamon and sugar.
8. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 190 degrees Celcius for 60 minutes, or until the cake is not runny in the middle.

Page header?

I'm trying to change my page header.

I did this in the CSS field, by replacing my old image with a new one:

#top2 {
height:116px;
padding-left:15px;
background:#AFC5DA url(http://files.myopera.com/galadriel/albums/38055/bw20background.jpg) top left repeat-x;
border-bottom:1px solid #fff;
}

Didn't work...

So, I used Opera's 'change page header image' thing...also didn't work :| Instead, I have a blue background...

*confused*

Anyone know why it hasn't worked?

Bus stop sign


Grafitti on a bus stop timetable

Why do people do this? I really don't understand it.
If you're trying to cover up the bus timetable, you have failed.
If you are trying to let people know how cool you apparantly are, you have failed.
If you want to let people know what an idiot you are, good job!


Yesterday I caught the bus into the city, in order to buy some new clothes. I didn't find anything that I liked...there were some nice thing but they weren't really nice. I found one top in JeansWest that I wanted to buy (Two tops for $40, which is quite good), but the smallest size on the shelf was S, which is too big. There was no XS :frown: This is very annoying. So, I came home without any new clothes, but with all my money still in my bag.
