      Lemon Squares

      Ahem, this post may or may not have been penned as a ‘back-up’ over the summer. But hey, there are times when that preparation becomes handy dandy. It’s inevitable. Times like now. Fresher or ‘O week’ of University is in full swing and spare minutes, let alone an hour, have been rare. Things’ll go back to normal around here eventually…in the meantime here’s some cake. Cake is good. Right?

      Light, luscious lemon squares. Nothing like getting some good alliteration going. Hey, some people liked English at school. Nothing to be ashamed of. Well, not much. There’s also nothing quite like the perfect mouthful of summer. Sweet as a pea with a refreshing lemony twist, these dainty pale yellow sponge squares are reminiscent of an English garden tea party.

Every year the gifts are practically identical. Each kid proudly goes home thinking they have bought dad a unique gift, failing to cotton onto the fact that every other classmate has done the very same thing with virtually the same item. Mum used to have to tell my sister to buy a mug and me to buy a hankie so that we didn’t do just that. With that in mind I actually can sympathise with dad’s misgivings, to an extent. The gifts aren’t what fathers day should be about. I mean, he drives me bonkers a fair bit of the time and I could list twenty traits right now that make me want to go stick my head in the oven, but all in all he’s an alright bloke. That’s an understatement. He’s a bloody brilliant dad. So, yesterday I attempted to walk the fine line between saying thanks for everything and ignoring the event altogether, like we usually do. In order to do that I turned to what I know best. Food. Continue reading →
