Pre-poetry micro-challenge Day 3 -- Ideal experimentation

Which one is the right one? Only one way to find out.

experimentation at its best, I long to use my kitchen as a test kitchen, but the space, the increase in the amount of food we'd have to buy, the increase in the amount of food we'd EAT! 4 cakes, which is best? so objective, I'm left wondering. what makes things good is so defined by personal taste. I don't know how to describe what I like in a cake. I'll have to taste them all. Bake them all. So tempting. Record-keeping is my nemesis. How to do it, when, in what form, where, for what purpose?

Caribana week ahead: Beef Patties

So for the second day in my West Indian food week, I decided to make jamaican beef patties, the kind that were so popular when I grew up as a snack or quick meal, and remain so here now.I should note that patties have never been a personal favourite of mine, but I since they are so convenient, ubiquitous, and universally acceptable, since they keep well and store easily, and since pastry is kind of an adventure for me (continue reading for more on that) I decided they were definitely warranted.
