Orange and cornmeal, love ’em both and tasted way too delicious…<\/p>\n

Hmm, sigh, pheww…I use these words or expressions or verbs or whatever it’s called a lot these days. I’ve started writing my research thesis, for the past few days I had been really exhausted of thinking and sorting all my work together. Basically, it’s a heck a lot of work, reading all the previous and recent research papers, writing about all the two years of my work in such a way that the people who judge my work have to get the feel that I did something interesting and worthy. So the bottom line is they shouldn’t be dozing off while reading my thesis. Well, I guess everyone gets this feeling while starting to do a new thing…starting seems lil difficult, once you start thinking and breathing it, you’ll fall into the right track and eventually will feel remarkable about whatever you have done…Today, I feel much better, I kinda started to fall into the right track of writing, hopefully I can nail it…Fingers crossed!<\/p>\n

Here is a simple and delicious orange cornmeal cake that I had made last month. I loved the combination of orange and cornmeal. Cornmeal made this cake lil crunchy and the texture was really good. I got this recipe from Martha Stewart website. I made this with gluten free flour, so had to add Xanthan gum to the flour. Even with the gluten free flour, this cake came out great…This cake can be served as an evening snack, for breakfast or for brunch…<\/p>\n
