"I didn't even know I was hungry" (The Food Appreciation Thread)

I'm making a spiced devils food cake. The recipe showed up on the local new website a week or so ago and i took it as a sign (that i would get fatter).

Anyway i had to buy star anise for it, so its going to be fun finding other recipes to use that in to unclog the spice drawer. I got interrupted by my stepdad making dinner halfway through making it so i'm just sitting at the breakfast bar surrounded by nice smelling ingredients. I have high hopes for this! :>

Update with pictures in a couple hours.


OH and on an unrelated note, i'm writing down a few of my mum's recipes to take to europe with me so i don't have to send her tragic emails asking for them when i get there :v I figure while i'm doing that i'm going to illustrate them and make a wee recipe zine. Would anyone be interested if i posted the results in here as i go?
