I tried to make a clafoutis for breakfast, and it totally didn't work. I don't know what the hell was wrong with the recipe, but it took way longer to cook, and 100% stuck to the pan. It still tastes good, but oy. But you know on GBBO, in the technical round, when things are a mess, and the one good thing they can say is the flavor is OK? That's because they used all the ingredients, so what else would it taste like! This is like that.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Google images shows me that clafoutis often isn't pretty.
DH slept in Savannah GA last night. I tried to convince him to sleep in, go for a swim, have breakfast and not get on the road too early. He was business emailing at 6 something this morning so not sure he listened. I even booked him in a nice hotel! (he is Mr. DIY so when he called last night around 10 and asked me to find him a room I figured I would make it a nice one)

It was so pretty! Until I tried to serve it.

That would be the tricky part! The yum is the thing.

Huh. Don't know what recipe you used, Jesse (mine is from Joy of Cooking), but IME clafoutis are basically big eggy pancakes: flour, sugar, milk, eggs. Maybe you needed to grease the pan?

Timelies all!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We have a septic tank and it has decided the Saturday of a long weekend was the PERFECT time to overflow. We can't get anyone in to pump out the tank until Tuesday morning, so it's no laundry and showering at the gym until then. I am about to go scrub the floor in the downstairs bathroom, where the carnage happened. It is just as disgusting as you think it might be, but I have a mop and plenty of Mr. Clean, so I should be okay.

Not cool, septic of Scrappy. That gym sounds like a better idea than ever.

I know catastrophes must happen at other times of the year, but holidays seem cursed at times.

Oh nooooo, Scrappy! Yuck.

I clearly needed to grease the pan.
Went to the beach, came home with a migraine! Booo. At least it only started coming on when we were ready to go anyway. Went back to bed with a pillow over my head for two hours, and am doing OK now.
