Today's song: St Vincent- Marrow
I have been baking once a week and I'm pretty pleased with the results. I tried my hand at scones...

And a Coffee and Walnut cake...


This was super tasty and I'm so pleased with how it came out!
I also made some caramel cupcakes for my friend's birthday and chocolate and walnut cookies which came out well, usually I over cook cookies.
Snacking
I gave up crisps for lent but I'm not sure it's made much difference to my diet as I have just been eating chocolate and crackers and things instead! Also I must admit to breaking the ban and eating some pringles on Sunday, oops.
I'm completely obsessed with some new savoury biscuit snacks from Jacobs called Oddities. They're delicious, especially the cheese flavour. The smoky bacon ones remind me of the 'Fish'n'Chips' snacks from childhood- anyone remember those?

Eating out
Edd and I went for a lovely meal at Annexe at the start of the month. I kept seeing excellent reviews of this independent restaurant so I was desperate to visit! The atmosphere was absolutely lovely, with plants everywhere and old films projected onto the wall. I had goats cheese and beetroot salad to start, chicken wrapped in pancetta for my main and then Earl Grey creme brulle for dessert. Highly recommended if you're in Birmingham
