Forgive me if this week's post is lacking in pazzaz and, quite frankly, any sense at all. I've suffered from a severe bout of sleep deprivation this week - Wednesday morning saw my brain momentarily short circuit as I put body wash in my hair instead of shampoo... I feel this is a low point in my week...
You see, Wednesday was my final ever coursework deadline of my final year at Uni.
This means, solitary confinement, late nights/early morning (depending on your perspective) and far too much caffeine.
By 3:30 on Wednesday afternoon, I was feeling "seriously easy going" - or maybe I was just delirious, either was plausible by that stage!
So this week, I took inspiration from the only place in this world that knows how to truly kick back, relax and chill -
Caribbean Muffins it is!
My Rum-Glazed Caribbean Muffins consisted of coconut, mango and pineapple, complete with rum icing giving them that truly Caribbean kick. I'm sorry to admit that this recipe isn't my own but from my Muffins Galore cookbook - but cut me some slack here, it's been a stressful week! Furthermore, a big shout-out to my housemate, Miss. Sophie Ray who chopped fruit for me for a good 20 minutes while I got everything else ready - not sure I wouldn't have fallen asleep face-down in the flour if I hadn't had a trusty sous-chef!
Alas, my freedom was short lived - exams start in a measly 3 days. At least I have a scrummy snack to keep me going!
