Isn’t it a beautiful day to be gazing out of the college library window? I’m going to miss this sight, but it’s been here serving students for decades and I don’t think it’s going anywhere soon…

Break
So I’ve decided to take a break from Oxford to be able to spend more time at home. This week’s been a bit dominated by a fairly hefty decision but now it’s done I feel totally relieved. Leaving Oxford behind for a bit is going to be weird, but on the major bright side I get to spend a whole extra year in my favourite place in the WORLD and also much more time in the kitchen
Sprinkling opportunities
When they let you sprinkle the chocolate yourself…
punts
Sometimes I’m scared that when I leave Oxford it will disappear, but like the punts in winter that hide under the bridge – perhaps it’s just waiting for me to come back.
friends
I don’t know what I did to deserve such incredible friends. Feeling soppy.
Family soupin’
eek I’m 20!

tibits
The Oxford Student was asked to review ‘tibits’ – a fabulous vegetarian restaurant in the Regent St. food quarter – so I took my cousin Emily along for some foodie support. We had a great catch up, revelling in the fantastic food and the positive rainbow of varieties that ended up on our plates… You can read my review here: http://www.oxfordstudent.com/2015/01/07/review-titbits-excellent-vegetarian-buffet/
If you’re in London in the near future, I urge you to check it out! In the meantime, here are some experimental bread rolls.

red jewels of wisdom
undoubtedly the most important lesson I learnt over the Christmas holidays, via Martha Stewart and my esteemed grand-aunt, was how to get the seeds out of a pomegranate

tibits
Writing for the Oxford Student has so far been such fun! Last week I was asked to review ‘tibits‘, in the Regent St. food quarter, so I took my cousin – who is an admirably serious foodie – for some moral support. We had a fabulous time: a great catchup and amazing food, making it a truly memorable occasion! Review coming soon…
new year fun
one of my New Year’s resolutions is to either blog or Instagram (@a_scone_atatime) once a day. This will undoubtedly be a challenge in term time when I am in the depths of student eating, which is hardly inspiring or aesthetically pleasing. Yesterday, though, I had entirely forgotten that everywhere would be shut on New Year’s Day and back in my student house was forced to embrace a diet of crumpets and Bendick’s bittermints. Despite the seemingly unappealing nature of this development, I discovered both that crumpets are actually very photogenic, and also that I am quite content to survive on them indefinitely.
