Candied Sesame Walnuts & Snapshots of my Hometown

It's been a while (again)! But I have a better excuse this time; I've been away to my hometown Hong Kong (again) over my uni break and in going to the opposite hemisphere I left my blogging duties behind (yes, again). It isn't that I haven't been baking, either - I made a total of three cakes in three weeks of which I only took photos of two, but neither were particularly blog-worthy. And while it seems that writing a post on walnuts after one on pecans is overly nutty (pun intended - I'm hilarious), these candied walnuts are amazing. But more on that in a sec.

Homemade Marshmallows

I'm currently writing this post on the plane.

The good thing about writing blog posts on the plane is that you get a lot of time to think - the combination of being unable to sleep on planes and being confined in an economy class seat for 9 hours where the area space is made even smaller by the fact the person in front of you has absolutely no qualms about squashing your legs and lying practically 180 degrees is surprisingly stimulating for your brain.  

So, since I've got plenty of time, let's talk about marshmallows.
