It's 2:17am here, I'm too hot to sleep and I'm trying to keep my mind off of wanting a cigarette or those nice biscuits I baked earlier that are sitting in the fridge.
So, what do you do in these times? Trawl the internet of course! After all, isn't that what it's for?
As I do so I keep returning to food and baking sites (I did try to be all organised and started looking into wedding prep but to no avail) along with some awesome blogs about these subjects and I realise a recurring, but utterly depressing theme - stealing of others stuff. Or should I say, people reporting when people's things have been stolen. Then I come across a recipe of mine which I posted a few weeks ago...on someone else's blog and they're claiming it to be theirs! Of course, this has upset me quite a bit, I created this recipe, I took the time, effort (and the calories to my hips) and used my knowledge to make it work and someone else goes and nicks it.
I've been warned a few times of putting up my creations, especially since I'm working on my own recipe book but I didn't want to listen or believe people could be so devilish.
I love making these new creations, and when I add them to this blog I love seeing the response I get from them...but this has really darkened the joy I find in it all. I have no other option than to protect myself feeling like this again, so I will be taking down all my own recipes from this blog and won't be sharing anymore (until I finish my recipe book).
I will, however, still be posting classic recipes that I use constantly (or ones I have tweaked) and recipes I try for the first time from other sources.
I hope you can all understand this decision, and still find my blog interesting and useful.
But let's not dwell on such dark things or pathetic people, let's look on the bright side - this is a very good reason for me to try out other classic recipes and post the results and mouth-watering photos here for you all to enjoy and recreate yourselves!
As always, happy baking...
