Project Update (NO RECIPE TODAY)

This weekend I was visiting friends in Roscommon, so I didn't have a chance to bake over the weekend. Well, anything new: I did make some nice fluffy American style pancakes to feed my companion for breakfast.

Recently, I've been feeling a bit stale in life; this happens every so often, usually around August or September. I've been working in the same job for nearly 3 years, going to the same church every Sunday, seeing the same people and doing the same things... no matter how much you like something, you can get bored of it. This also extends into my blogging: I've recently been feeling a little bored with it. It's not that I want to stop doing it anymore, but I want to shake it up.

Last year, I tried making some videos, but I wasn't happy with how I made them: their style, quality, or content. I reflected on the experience, and found that they lacked planning, and needed to be refined and better designed. I have been working on a new design and concept, which I infinitely prefer.

I've been designing the content and the visuals, and getting excited about what it will look like and be about! I plan to make a series of eight 15 minute episodes to air next spring, but this year I will make two short series (3 or so videos) for Halloween and Christmas.

I'll be sharing the development of the video concept on this blog, as well as sharing recipes and techniques.

Spelt Doughnuts Video Tutorial!


I made a tutorial video for the spelt doughnuts recipe that I published a few months ago, butI thought it would be pointless to have two blogs of the same recipe. So this blog post is literally just to say "Lookit ma new vidjo!"

Full spelt doughnuts recipe can be found here!

The Making of Videos (and Subsequent Technical Difficulties)

I've decided, after many months of umming and aahing, to make some instructional videos to accompany my blog. This is half of my new YouTube strategy, which includes one channel of cooking videos, and one channel of other endeavours such as music and filmmaking.

For years and years I've been attempting to establish an identity for myself on YouTube that I'm happy with, but I've never been truly satisfied. I'm too much of a perfectionist to just shove any old video up; it has to look and sound good. As such, I've been abstaining from uploading until I could create quality content. Also, years of struggling with illness does put a spanner in the works somewhat.

I set up my first channel in 2007, and my second channel in 2011, and the first one only has 2 public videos. It has, however, a bunch of stuff which I uploaded - pleased with it at the time - only to make private because I didn't feel it accurately represented me anymore. I've just not known what I've wanted, to be honest.

But now, I'm going to just upload stuff and not give a care. So I recorded some videos the other day... only to discover when it came to editing that the sound was almost inaudible. I'll have to do them again, again. In a way, this gives me the opportunity to fine-tune the concept I had already and do a better job of it.

So, sorry for the lack of recipe today! I haven't made anything new or interesting this week except for my sister's boyfriend's birthday cake, which I'll upload on Thursday.

It's been a while! Happy 9th Anniversary!

  It's been a while. The past two years have been a helluva a ride. This year is gonna hold some big changes for this blog. I'm comp...
