Watched the TV series religiously. She is the ultimate free spirit.<br />I like baking, but mainly because I am not a particularly great cook and by following a simple recipe, you create something very delicious (or at least most of the time). But hey, there are some 'baking Pippi Longstockings" out there too... no perfectly ironed dresses on me ever :).<br />Love reading your posts.<br />E xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-88789246532925458102012-05-09T11:00:26.439+10:002012-05-09T11:00:26.439+10:00Oh my god, I LOVED Pippi!

First, I have no sweet tooth to speak of, and second, I suck at measuring.

I love all the measuring, weighing & getting things juuuuuust right!<br /><br />This cake...it's going on my " to bake" list. ( yes I actually have a list of things I have seen/read that I want to cook/bake. I'm weird like that ).Reannon https://www.blogger.com/profile/04215161182830545561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-315813441386653699.post-71939029406313224672012-05-04T14:27:39.152+10:002012-05-04T14:27:39.152+10:00I do love baking... but since we moved into a hous...I do love baking... but since we moved into a house that we are renovating, the oven is decades old... and the seals must be worn on it or something. Nothing cooks unless the oven is right up to 200deg, which means most things burn on their bottoms and dont cook on their tops. So frustrating. So for the time, I have given up baking. Its too disapointing. I agree though, I hate the precisness that baking requires, right measurements, right time, right heat, dont open the oven while its cooking... I enjoy the freedom of regular cooking, where you can shake things up.
