Week Two

Two weeks in a row. What problem have I been trying to solve at Youi this week? What I’ve been doing I’ll try to focus on my profession this time. The week has been a little quiet.

Back Again

So many false starts with my health and career development. I will try create a regular habit to write here.

My First Post

Hopefully this does - eventually. I do love baking and making ice cream. Today, I’ve decided to try making hot cross buns from scratch again. It’s been a few years. Then I’ll be trying a new ice cream recipe that uses orange marmalade and toasted breadcrumbs....
