The joy of using fresh yeast!

This weekend i finally managed to find fresh yeast. It is super expensive compared to the good old normal yeast from Denmark but nevertheless.. it is yeast! (and organic too) I found it in a small organic health store where everything was quite expensive. It was almost like being back in Denmark and the yeast packs even have writing in danish on them. I bought 3 packs and they cost £1.09 each however i do not mind paying that price because it is worth my joy of using yeast. I never thought i would crave using yeast as much as i have.

 

I still need to get to know the oven at the place i am staying but at least it is easier to use than the last one which seem to bake my bread unevenly. I used my first pack of yeast on walnut and white chocolate horns.  :)

London

I am currently in London for my internship and I haven't had much time to draw but i did manage to take some photos. Hopefully i will start drawing again after the 12th of October where we hand in our bachelor thesis paper and "making of".



I went to Hyde park with two friends and the weather was absolutely amazing. 26 degrees and sunny. We were amazed with the amount of squirrels and how tame they were. You could actually hand feed them and they would come really close.
 

 Also the pidgins were hand-feedable :)



Here they are actually sitting on me.


I also discovered that there were horses! However after getting home and looking at their website i soon found out that an one hour lesson is £69.00. That is about the same price as i would pay for a whole month in Denmark for 1 hour a week.


I can't remember what statue this was but it was right outside Hyde Park.


Buckingham Palace was quite near by so we dropped by there too on our way home.

 

I think that these are the prettiest street lights i have ever seen. They are like right out of a fairytale movie :)


We also came by Big Ben. 



 This is the cat Kitty who also lives in the flat where i am renting a room. When i saw her sleeping like this i just had to take a photo :)
