Apple Cake

My semester is almost over, as I’ve mentioned in previous posts, so these days I’m mostly busy with studying for my last exam and going over the final draft of my essay one last time. But when my friend Fooke invited me over to her place last week to bake a cake together, I was hardly […]

Book Haul 3.0

So… I went a bit nuts with ordering books again. Perhaps ordering six books doesn’t seem that crazy to some of you book bloggers out there, but on my budget it’s kind of a splurge. You can never have too many books, though, so I’m not even feeling remotely bad about it! There was a […]

I don’t even really know how to put it in words properly, because they were just so good! Especially compared to the previous concert they gave in the Netherlands, which was […]

Hazelnut Coconut Cookies (Cookie Rookie)

Remember that project I started a few months ago, called Cookie Rookie? No? I barely did, either, to be honest. The last Cookie Rookie attempt dates back to February, and I wasn’t really pleased with how those chocolate chip cookies turned out. However, despite having decided that cookies are perhaps not entirely my thing, I felt […]
