An online record of the trials and tribulations of a mother-doctor-foodaholic with low tolerance for deadlines, lego on the floor and carbs.

freezing to death


It's raining, it's pouring, and I am completely frozen. Aircon in this office is blasting away and I swear either I have Raynaud's phenomenon or incipient frost bite. Have been at it, desperately trying to catch up with work after taking a half day off yesterday. Steffi has had attack of Hand, foot and mouth disease, episode #2. The first time, she was off food for 5 days, and I was seriously worried about her being dehydrated. This time, she has fewer ulcers, and is less miserable, but very "manja". Luckily her KoKo is on holiday and is able to pander to her. Now he even has to lie on her bed to keep her company when she wakes up from her nap.

Anyway, still on the frozen mode. Have these grand plans to create a profiterole christmas tree (see non-christmas tree model in picture) for the festive season, only with many more layers for the grand finale. Only problem with lack of space in my fridge/freezer. Probably will end up a really small tree. Plus I will have to make the center support - maybe from wafer...hmm needs some construction and design skills, maybe less complicated than Ben's cloning machine. Anyway, can't wait to make the ganache with the valrhona chocolate samples from Shermay's cooking school. Now to find people not on diet to share in the sin.
