It's was -4°c this morning and didn't rise above 0 all day. There was- and still is - a thick froze, so much that it looked like snow.
I played th onion with my clothes, wearing a tank top, a cotton sweater and a big sweater plus ski socks in my furred hiking type of shoes. I guess you're not having this kind of problem lately
That I learnt from who exactly? 🤨 The protégé that I was got all her best tricks from her teacher I was an innocent young lady before being corrupt by them all
but also what the boys said, we miss you, it's too quiet
I've been working on a crocheted sweater. Today, having made it a few inches past the underarms, I've decided to try it on... it's too big 😭 time to frog 2 weeks worth of late nights crocheting
I just watch the first episode of a new show based on 80 days around the world. It was great
I think you mean National Marine Day making me the official ruler of LPW
Guys Terry is a newbie here and it seems we've forgotten our duty to make him blood sign the rules and regulations book
1. One can never have too many beefcakes in their herd (yes no need to make a list for Santa, here you can claim your preys ugh I meant presents all year long and incorporate them into your herd).
2. All beefcakes are free games to grab at the exception of the plaided ones. See rule and regulation 2.1
2.1 All plaided beefcakes are Dugh's
3. All hits (except the same as in MMA - we're not savages) and shenanigans to be the first to grab a beefcake are allowed.
4. Stealing and sneaking into another member's herd is allow - but be aware of the possible come back.
Good chase and watch your back
What do you know, maybe I've got a couple of bitches in my freezer, cut in dices and nicely organized in freezer bad alongside the frozen vegetables for the soup
Bûches are done and in the freezer! Yes you read it right I manages to make 4 smaller ones (about a quarter of the bigger one) with what was left of the mousse from the big one They'll stay in there until the morning of the 24th.
So now no more excuse to escape ugh I meant focus on schoolwork... sigh
Kind of but not really.
This one is what we call "bûche pâtissière". It's made of a génois biscuit and butter cream which is very heavy on the stomach IMO.
Mine is made of a génois biscuit with a crunchy chocolate praline coat and a red berries mousse with a raspberries jelly insert in the middle. Like the entremets I did for my brother's birthday in July.
Mine will look something like that https://images.app.goo.gl/mCjraXbRWoM754K88 but the jelly insert will be a bit thinner
It's actually good. I'm on my own in the house dancing and singing while baking I've done half the preps for the bûche so much that I'm considering making another one (chocolate/vanilla this time) but it would not be reasonable
Or (this idea just popped up as I was writing) maybe I could to mini buches. I'd just have to double the proportions, it actually wouldn't be much more work and we could have more to eat during the in-between week!
Supermarket is open all day today woo-hoo (thanks to all the people working there on this occasion!) so I did most of the food shopping for Christmas eve. Now I can start working on the dessert and maybe prepare some mini quiche that I'll froze but will already be ready at least. Saved me from having to face the growd later this week (plus having exams to drop online before the 24 and my booster shot tomorrow).
I hope you're all having a nice Sunday
