Barmy Blue's Bland Blog

Didn't sleep well. Flipped the mattress this morning, it's better on my back for now. Would've written this sooner but I was trying to perfect the lemon meringue pie. Still needs some work. I've halved the amount of butter in it in the hopes that it'll make a sharper lemon taste and I used my new mixer for the meringue. What took an hour with a hand mixer became five minutes with the electric mixer. The meringue still isn't crispy enough. Still not sure where I'm going wrong. What if I sprinkled sugar on top and got a blowtorch to crisp it up? But sugar burns super easily. Mum's out with friends today, a rare occurrence. It's kind of thrown my daily routine a little askew.

Oh. It was another elf today. It's not that I don't enjoy eating a chocolate every day like I did when I was little, it's just that there used to be more variety didn't there? Then again it did and still does depend on what one you buy. It would be nice if you could know how varied each chocolate would be before you bought the calendar. Well. I shouldn't complain. A chocolate is a chocolate, it all goes to the same place anyway.
