Lemon curd butterfly mini cupcakes

Food synopsis: A fluffy cupcake filled with fresh lemon curd. The sourness of lemon curd was in harmony with cake, the proportions of curd to cake.

Being quite a scavenger of food and produce brought in by my colleagues' homes, I thought I should give back a bit of what I take. This week, I had taken a quite a number of lemons - either grown in their backyard, or they'd picked from their neighbour's backyard.

Most of the streets in this town have dusty alleyways between the backyard fences. They're wide enough for a car drive down, but the road isn't

Dinner: Spicy salt and pepper calamari

Made a massive mistake with the salt and pepper calamari. When making up the batter, I was sprinkling the chilli powder through the tiny hole I made in the corner of the packet, but was barely getting any through. It wasn't the first time I'd been impatient with the chilli packet, so I decided that the time was ripe to cut a slightly larger hole in the corner.

So I did. But alas! Still feeling very impatient, I used the same rigorous tipping and shaking action. Probably had a heaped teaspoon's worth of chilli powder when 1/8tsp would have adequately tingled my taste buds.

So, pain beyond pain when eating!!! My mouth felt like to was burning, and tears were coming down
