Well, at home, everything is me, me, me...... doing all the house chores, cleaning, washing, ironing, cooking, baking, typing the office work at home. So sometimes, I have to juggling running up and down, doing this, then doing that.......
So to find solace... and away from stress, I will bake eventhough sometimes I'm tired after the housework! Hee...hee...
To make something simple for my tea break today, I have baked a Lemon Pound Cake..... a recipe from Okashi...sweet treats made with love
