Sweaters/Chocolate/Hil-ahh-rity

Ok I calmed down immensely the next day. Urgh, those moods are just horrible! Well, the next day was Friday so I was in an exceptionally good mood. Marius and I (new intern) got a shit load of stuff done, slightly worried as he is already making the things I used to do more efficiently. He is actually awesome and I’m glad to have him, but it does make me paranoid that he will do a better job than me. I was very sure at how awesome I was at that job but now he’s making me doubt. I suppose there’s nothing wrong with getting even better people in, but yeah…. they seem to fire people every six months, it does give me a feeling of insecurity. I’ll just have to make some damned awesome shirts I guess!

Went out shopping for a TV, came back with a bunch of sweaters. Spent too much money on them. But they are beautiful. Yesterday David asked if I wanted to go for a drink tonight and I was like "HELL YES." I love David so much. I cried when he told me he’s leaving for Alabama. He has the most awesome job over there but seriously, that guy is super special, so many of us love him to bits in the office, in fact when they announced it a load of people started crying! Awww David. Sob!

But yeah, after I’d said yes, and invited Marius along too, I realised I’m supposed to go on this date. WHOOPS. I apologised over OKC that I missed his call because my phone had died in Paris and he was like "That’s cool, just let me know when it’s ok to call." Then I actually never replied. Or texted him. Or anything. Sooo…. yeah he hasn’t been in touch since, so I’m just gonna go ahead and assume there’s no date. That way I don’t have to make up an excuse of why I’d much rather see David. 

Got Rose to listen to the message, she was also thoroughly confused. At first she was like "He sounds African! No wait, Americ- no… what? I don’t know!!". Blah, I don’t really care, it’s just weird. There’s probably some regular explanation.

Look at the sweaters I bought! They are beautiful!

Two sweaters: 108 euros. I really need to stop spending all my money on things like this. I wanted a TV! So I can play the Wii!!

Also, grand theft auto 5 is out. Dying to play. Don’t even have any console that would play it. Psh! I don’t play games enough to warrant buying those sorts of things, but I really love that game. I bet 5 is awesome. 

Last night was lovely, made chili from a recipe in my Hotel Chocolat book, having a little chocolate added to it was delicious. We sat watching trashy films with red wine and chocolate souffle for dessert. Was larrrrvley! We watched The Bling Ring, which was just terrible. It wasn’t really a story, mostly just montages of opulent robberies and 16 year olds taking selfies with cash and fur coats. Earlier in the day, Marius had described it as "Tumblr-y" – I would have to agree. So after that we watched that old classic Save The Last Dance, and it was stupid and awful and wonderful and I laughed the whole way through. Then an episode of Great British Bake Off (mmmmmmm! cake!).

When Bram comes over I wanted to make him a cake (apparently his favourite thing in the world) but when I asked him what flavour was his favourite, he was like "All of them. Seriously." So I had this idea to take the piss and make some sort of every flavoured cake, or a cake within a cake within a cake. But this already sounds ambitious and I have no idea how I would actually execute this whilst maintaining a modicum of deliciousness. Any ideas, people? Bear in mind I’m not going to great lengths to make some insane cake, it’s more of a joke dessert.

Ok, today I am the type of person that makes joke desserts. Yay, I guess. 🙂

LOL @ 1. going to buy a tv and coming back with sweaters. Dude! Those aren’t even in the same SECTION of a store.. wtf 2. The cake mess…. he’s probably trying not to be demanding! Just bake him a damn cake already and stop being cunty! lol (ps. i love that word, i’m so stealing it for daily use in my vocab) 3. I meant to say wtf about Mat going back to london when mommy and daddy rescued hm

Extreme marble cake it? Make normal vanilla batter, split it up into 3+ bowls. Keep one vanilla, add cacao powder to one part, maybe a little lemon zest and lemon juice to another part, and hazelnut flavoring to another. Pour all of them into a into a pan and then run a knife through so that it swirls together.

Then bake your cake. I got a decent vanilla cake recipe I can send you if you want. Actually relatively easy to do I think. Also, chocolate, vanilla, and lemon should be fairly tasty combo. It’s throwing in a fourth that could ruin the taste. Could also split it into 4 bowls, 2 vanilla, 1 chocolate, 1 lemon, and then throw like blue food coloring into one of the vanillas for shits and giggles.

I googled for cake within a cake recipes. This thing looks redonk, but you could maybe do it if you’re better at baking than me (not hard ha ha): http://once-upon-a-pedestal.blogspot.com/2012/05/polka-dot-cake-from-bake-pop-pan.html And you could make each polka-dot a different flavour, man! Shit would get REAL Seems like there’d be an inbetween here, minus the crazy fancy three-layer shiz going on. MAN I REALLY WANT YOU TO DO THIS PLEEEEEEEEEEEEASE

do the multi marble cake!!!!

Feel free to use my marble cake idea 🙂 That’s why I shared it. RYN: Yes no hands and feet. It was mind boggling. And tickets would be awesome 🙂 How much are they?

First of all, I must be very susceptible to suggestion because your mention of buying a TV made me immediately open a tab and go to curry’s website to look at TVs for my bedroom, which I don’t even want. Second, well done on buying jumpers instead. Much better for the soul. Third, I love the cake ideas but is it a bit try hard? Packet mix cake is the way forward here, I reckon. Oooh, also…

I had a dream last night that I joined a sex club and there was this Iago type moody, mysterious character called Bram in it. He had curly blonde hair but menacing brown eyes. Is this your Bram? If so, I apologise unreservedly for joining his sex club.

Nothing like DreamBram but cute! I now need to see a picture of ActualBram. It’s thoughtful, I suppose. Maybe try-hard is a bit harsh but it depends how much you want him to know you like him. To me, baking a cake for someone = I really like you!

In that case, you could make these… http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/2121648/bestever-chocolate-raspberry-brownies They are a piece of piss to make, keep for ages (you can freeze them) and they are incredibly lush.
