ANZACS: Catnip For Canadians

Heya!

So, I've discovered there is a limited number of things I can cook confidently and cook well.
As long as I follow the recipe I'll get most things right, but there's a couple of things I can go back to and know pretty much how it'll turn out.

Bolognese is one, and it seems ANZAC biscuits are another.

We hit a rough patch at work, meaning people were eating most of their meals at the studio, so I thought I'd whip up a batch of good ol' Aussie ANZACs.

I don't know if it was because we were all so tired or because they were something new and different but a Quadruple batch was successfully devoured in 15 minutes flat. And I felt quite proud about that :D

Hope you're all having a grand old day,

A taste of down under (NOT LIKE THAT!)

Heya everyone,
So I've recently discovered something. It's not the big differences that bug you when you move somewhere new. It's the little ones.

For example, Halifax doesn't seem to sell sausage rolls. Further than that, they don't seem to have savoury pastries of any kind. I never realised how much I craved savoury pastry.

So I decided to make a whole heap of sausage rolls!

They were sooo yummy.

I'd forgotten how awesome it is to have an oven. Back in my apartment in St Kilda I didn't have an oven. But the hostel I'm staying in here in Halifax does and it's HUGE! I almost didn't get them all done before midnight when the kitchen closes, but I totally did.
I took a whole heap of them to work too. Needed to ...educate? Canadian animators on the deliciousness of meat and pastry.

It all reminded me of growing up back home. Not necessarily what I was making, but the quantity.
So many Saturdays and Sundays of making huge quadruple batches of biscuits or  slices or bolognese and then freezing the lot of it for school lunches.
Ahhhh... good times.

Less baking and more sketching soon.

But then more baking again.

...and possibly a song.

Hope everyone's having a great day,

-Daniel
