Feeling
Greedy and rather desirous of eating some of these, although it's surely way too hot to be consuming such copious amounts of cream cheese.


A jelly heart, by Abi

But look at that layer of strawberry jelly! And that strawberry encased in it! Hard to believe all it takes to make this is, essentially, patience. And a willingness to buy good cream cheese and digestive biscuits. The price of baking essentials is rising, when did Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder cost more than $8?!

I love jelly, and agar-agar. And fruit in jelly and agar-agar. So healthsome, you know? Even with that much cream cheese.

The Kong Guan Sultana Biscuits made a comeback in the office pantry on my floor, and I spirited more than a couple of packets to my desk drawer for the days I knew they'd be short in supply (the popular biscuits always are). However, I am sad to say that my stash is gone, and I am currently lacking a suitable mid-morning snack.

Currently found in the air-tight pantry containers on my floor are the horrible fake oreos (W likes them though) and - if my memory serves me correctly - the even more awful banana cream ones (W also likes these, I think. I suspect she likes all Kong Guan biscuits. Or just biscuits in general, really). The pantry on D's and L's floor has the sugar speckled ones with a thin layer of chocolate cream which aren't half bad.

Isn't it sad that the most exciting thing I have to tell you about my life now are the biscuits in the pantry?
