-le gasp- Take picture! ; 3;

@Wrenji: I made a victoria sponge and some rock cakes with chocolate chips rather than raisins.

xD I doubt it'd look very pretty though. And it'll be expensive. ; 3;

@Cass: Whoaa, what's that? :drool:
Do you have a recipe?

@Nim-san: Awww. Then just enjoy it. c:

Hehe, I'll see if I can find some tomorrow. Will check this coffee shop near my workplace...

Woot! \ o /
Hope they have them~

Yeah. :drool: It'd be my lunch, and having waffles/pancakes for lunch seems kinda weird...oh well. :XD

:lol: I keep waking up later and later; so my breakfast is practically lunch. > A>;

lol! I wish I could do that, waking up later and later...XD

But I tend to skip breakfast anyway. So I guess it'd have to be either lunch of afternoon tea-something for me to ever be able to have waffles/pancakes. > A>;;

Hi! Iku: Same here! I'm such a sleepy head.

I always sleep late. :lol:
