Bored baking, while I am at home on compo. Caramel slice. Only the base was baked but it still counts. #foodsky #bakingsky #foodporn
Baked shortbread base for my caramel slice. Layer of caramel on the baked shortbread base. The chocolate layer of my caramel slice. I used Aldi basic dark chocolate and added butter. The finished product. Yes I know the base is a bit crumbly but it is delicious.

I stopped on my way out last night, just to sit and watch this for a few minutes. Took the time to breathe and be a human being, instead of a human doing. #sunset #canberra #jerrabomberra #breathe
A beautiful orange and grey sunset. A long road in the foreground, and houses, cars and hills to the right of the sunset. A tree framed by orange light.

The brownie recipe turned out much more “cakey” than I prefer. I like it like LNP politicians, thick, rich and dense.
Sliced chocolate covered cappuccino brownie about to stored in the freezer out of my reach.

It’s just my dirty mind right?? Or at first glance does it look to you like this guy about to be loaded into the dog box is wearing a g-string (thong for the US/UK readers) and suspenders.
