i would be jumping into it if i were to stop now.
Attempting to make some lovely dessert tonight.
the sweltering weather needs to take a chill pill, literally.
and realised how wrong i was hahahhaha.
but i like what i thought it was anyway.
Off to be Mozart in the making.
from the black and white keys to yours.
//update//
it is now 9 in the night and im back from my How to be Mozart lesson.
from then and the present, a few things happened.
1. While i was strolling home from piano class, i had a moment of what they call an epiphany.
Standing right there then and there, i watched the soft light from the sun illuminate each and every person.
It was as if all harshness and cruelty of life has faded away and the minutes in twilight bathed the world in what we seek for on a late Sunday afternoon - Happiness.
I love twilight; not the movie with pale faced blood suckling beings but that short few magical minutes right between the sun sets and the night falls. The few moments when everything seems just right.
2. I have gained strength in my arms despite still looking as if i have non-existent arm muscles.

The photo does me no justice.
For the first time ever in my life, i finally finally finally finally managed to beat egg whites to stiff peaks with nothing but sheer strength.
For those who do not know whatthesquirrel im talking about, basically, i was running short of time and could not go through the bustle and hustle of lugging the HUGE RED ELECTRIC BEATER (the one daddy bought for mummy as her birthday/christmas present if you remember) out,
which could have settled the matter within a few minutes,
and instead opted to use my own arms
-which are now really sore- to manually whisk those egg whites.
And finaaaaaaallly after 6 minutes of continuous whisking
(plus a few seconds of WHY WHY WHY DID I CHOSE THIS), the above came about :}
ok no i know it really doesnt look like much, but it's only because i added other stuff in already!
POINT IS, i grew stronger. Couldn't get this the last few times i tried -a few months ago- (:
3. Desserts are tricky temperamental food from Heaven.
just checked on the little guy in the oven, Sighpie, another failure >__<
Attempted to make Meringue with Lemon curd dolloped in the middle but it kinda sucked really bad.
Boohoo.
and i thought i was successful today :(
to make myself feel slightly better, i decided to plate it up anyway.

attempt #1
Meringue drizzled with Lemon Curd. |
Oh well on the bright side, i succeeded making lemon curd/jam.
at least i have citrus-y goodness to spread on toast in the mornings.
Yeahp, that's all i've to say for today.
Gotta go google a little and figure why my meringues tasted like hard pathetic candy floss :(
