Wonderful fumes from the kitchen ...

Few days since I wrote last time, so let's see what's going on now. I'm still visiting my girlfriend and I'll head home next Sunday. I'm still waiting for the few last books to arrive for my book haul blog, which I hope I can complete as soon as possible after getting home. My summer has been really calm if we don't recall the little row I had with the train ticket inspector... but let's not remember it.
   I also continued my novel today and I have now written about 20K words, so about a quarter of the book is now "ready". I'll tell you more about it after I return to home.
   But what are those lovely fumes coming from the kitchen? Well I decided to bake a peach-bread, and I'll share the recipe with you guys.
:)

3 eggs
2 cups white sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups diced canned peaches, drained
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Heat the oven to 350 Fº (175cº) and bake the bread for 1 hour.

Thanks Janie for the recepie!

Bookdepository


Still looking for an awesome bookstore? There is only one place to go, Bookdepository. You're have may heard of this place, or not, but I can assure you that this is the place to go. I'll order all my books from here and I'll do the same in future. One of the many wonderful reasons I love Bookdepository, is that the shipping doesn't cost you a single penny. This is a high advantage for those who lives far away from the UK. The second thing that makes this site perfect, is the HUGE selection of different books.
   I recently bought few books, and after they had dispatched 24 hours later, it only took TWO DAYS to arrive! And keep in mind that I live in Finland, pretty far away from the UK and I also live in a place where the mail doesn't run so fast. But regardless of all these minor makers, they still arrived after 48 hours, damn that's faster than if I would buy something from an online shop in Finland.
   And what comes to the book haul, I'll write about it after all the books have arrived, the second last book of my shopping list dispatched today and the last one will dispatch in few days.

Deepest Welcome

Alright, here is my first post even thought it isn't going to be much. Naturally I don't have many followers yet, but I hope that'll change soon, or at least over the time. I'll post every major things that are going on in my life and of course, the progress of my novel. I'm not writing anything large yet due the lack of readers but right away when I get at least few readers, I'll start writing much deeply and widely. That's all I want to say now.
