One of my goals for this year is to be a little more proactive when it comes to making my YouTube videos. It happens a lot when something will come up during my day-to-day life and I'll think, I should make a video about that! But seeing as hardly anyone besides my close family actually knows about my odd little hobby, I find it really difficult to find enough time when I can set up my video camera and chat away without worrying about what my flatmates might think I'm doing.
Anyways, tonight I was preparing for a video that I'm going to be working on tomorrow and somewhere in the process of getting stuff organised, I stumbled across the crumble! The clip above is incredibly short and I can't find any of the other ones (I remember there being quite a few takes, although I can't remember why I felt the need to film an apple crumble...). But I like it. It just reminds me of my trip to Helsinki when I got to spend a lot of time with my sister who is a dab hand at all sorts of domestic magic. She'll just decide to make something scrumptious and ta-da! Deliciousness is served.
Another one of my goals for this year is to try harder at learning to cook. I'm slightly ashamed to say this but cooking scares me... which is strange because I love baking. I think the main difference is, with baking, you're following a very precise list of instructions whereas cooking is more relaxed and (at least in my eyes) easier to fuck up. The extent of my cooking stretches as far as cheese toasties or homemade pasta sauce. And SuperNoodles... And cereal... but the flat that I've moved into is quite cooking orientated and we take turns every now and again to cook for each other. I've made my pasta which thankfully was a hit (if not, it sure was spicy!) but I don't want to serve pasta repeatedly. So I took a deep breath yesterday and tried my hand at cooking chicken for a visiting friend. I know there are plenty of people out there who will scoff at me patting myself on the back so jubilantly for cooking diced chicken breast but it was quite a big deal for me considering I usually stay away from cooking any meat or poultry (or any other animal for that matter) because I'm so scared I'll poison everybody. But none of that happened and I got more compliments which felt good. Hmm, what shall I learn next?
On a slightly different note, no one has replied to my How do you say "FEBRUARY"? request which while not surprising (I mean, 17 subscribers and virtually no hits on my videos suggests no one gives a shit) is also quite disheartening because there's only two more weeks of February left, and I kind of wanted at least one response before March.
