my half-day with val (and other half.. with my kitchen)

this morning i skipped the gym for my dearest valerie. i thought i was gonna be late cause there was a stupid long long line at the petrol station (as usual). i KNEW i shouldve filled up yesterday (it was cheaper too damnit!). so i didnt get petrol until like 20 mins to 11 (i left home at quarter past too!) and i was like shit shit, she's gonna kill me (val and time management.. u get the drift). and i got there.. and looked around. val wasnt there! a few mins later, i see this black corolla with really familiar plates but with red ps.. and shes like 'you always look to the left.' and there she is.
anyhow, we were going to watch fool's gold but since we heard it was shit, we got tickets to jumper instead. the movie was average.. plotline needed a bit more developing and ends needed to be tied together tighter but hayden can be quite yummy i suppose. and there were these scenes in japan. and omg i was fully like jumping in my seat (ok, in my head i was jumping in my seat) 'i know where that is. ive walked along that path. we caught the train at that station!!!' =D
anyhow, val had to jet for dr du party setting up (you can imagine how.. important i feel to know that i was being ditched for dr du.) so i had to make do with going grocery shopping by myself. anyhow, got some ingredients for a baking afternoon.
todays menu:
- tiramisu
- creme brulee
- choc fudge cookies
the latter two were my maiden attempts and they turned out good! really good! i should take photos but well, haha i cbb atm and well, i think they'd all be gone by tomorrow. the tiramisu was a bit of a if-all-else-fails back-up and sort of for mum cause she likes it. eventho im still kinda mad at her...
the creme brulee is rich and creamy and smooth. and not too sweet. and the choc fudge cookies are like melt-in-your-mouth but chewy in the centre. theyre really sweet though (hence the name choc fudge cookies) and they were the only things i ate all day and had a really late dinner so obviously didnt feel too good but anyhow. im pretty happy with the outcome.
in fact, i think im happy enough to go take photos now =)
will be back to post.
last note. my sister came home with a lovely black and gold goldfish today. he's adorable with a bit of white on his tail so it looks like it's been deliberately dyed. hence he's been dubbed (by her) and 'gangsta'. lol cute eh.
