Baking as Therapy

I have just finished baking some banana and blueberry muffins, I was having one of those 'ho-hum' days and needed a lift, so headed straight for the cake bowl and muffin tin. I don't know what it is about cooking non-essential things that is so calming and uplifting, maybe it's the the very word 'non-essential' that does it for me. I try and make a mix of naughty and good in the same cake, so my muffins are naughty, as they contain butter and sugar (brown and Fairtrade though) but they also contain bananas and blueberries, also (when I remember) I also add nuts and seeds, adding to the good side, then when they are day or so old, splitting and buttering them (naughty!!)
So, baking as therapy, I can highly recommend it, perk up your ho-hum days with a tray of naughty buns, or slightly good flapjacks or even a deliciously sinful chocolate cake!

Website Relaunch

Very exciting news, my website (www.onsiterevival.co.uk) has been revamped and is now live on the interweb. The bad news is that it links to here, so I really need to get my finger out and blog more often!
Since I last blogged, I have discovered the joys of kinesiology (a whole entry in itself!), taken on doing Shiatsu in a local acupuncture and alternative health clinic once a week and agreed to start doing seated massage in a local health food shop in the Autumn, so I have not been idle.
But blog more often, I must, so here's hoping I can get into the habit of findiong something interesting to write about!
