Practically tiny

The big kid is 27 today.   I can't imagine what it would be like not to have this charming and interesting human in my life.  Lover of prison documentaries, cake and puffins.  Tender heart and quick mind.

I recovered from my cake disaster to make another one.  It appears that sandwich tins are no longer an item which I find baffling.  I ended up using a big tin and cutting it in half but the world of the Victoria sponge seems to be running out.  I managed to seize the chocolate ganache twice but recovered it the second time by whisking in a tiny amount of milk to correct the fat ratio.  Oh science, you are so clever.

We had dinner here which was delicious always.  We came home and watched the first episode of His Dark Materials which did not disappoint and ate cake.

The smoke in the air has cleared today and there is even hope for some rain later.  My weekend plans are to do more house sorting out but I have my work Christmas party tonight which I can not be bothered with but feel I need to make a token appearance.
