Durbanville Hills Shiraz 2006

Not too bad for the price. I did quite enjoy the 'smoky plum palate with pepper and spice aromas'. Wasn't too dry, in fact I polished this whole bottle myself in two seatings.

Post-Exam Sushi

Bought lunch after an exam just now, in the form of much-needed comfort food (sushi = rice = carbs = happiness) slash 'reward' (for surviving two mind-numbing economics exams so far). Made my own chrysanthemum tea - they are actual flowers in teabags, bought by a friend in Korea.

Carrot Cupcakes with (Sloppy) Cream Cheese Frosting

Grating 3 cups of carrots by hand was a bitch, but my right arm felt slightly more toned after.

I don't remember which recipe I used, but I left out cinnamon and it was still good.

For the frosting, I nuked some spreadable cream cheese in the microwave for a quick bit to just soften it. Stirred in golden syrup (that explains the colour) and icing sugar. Got a bit too lazy to properly spread it after the third cupcake haha.

Couldn't resist adding some 100's and 1000's on top (ok, they are going to expire soon, might as well..).
