Well, Audrey isn't here at the moment, Catherine still needs to do her first spin, and I'm too lazy.
That leaves you. :P

❶İձ❶ (ttea) | 9617 comments ✼Danielle� wrote: "Did you have a good birthday?"

Yeah, thanks.
Actually I've been celebrating it most of the week (movie and concert with friends on Tue & Wed and family dinner on Thu since they went on trip yesterday). It was more-less normal day except for phone ringing all the time and all those messages I got on cell.
I didn't even have a cake since I miscalculated ingredients so didn't buy enough (as usual) :P So I'm finishing it now, but it isn't working. Creams are too soft and are everywhere but on the cake. I think I'll put them in cups and serve it that way :D


message 1683: by ✿~ٲԾ� (new)

✿~ٲԾ✿ (dmh1) | 5552 comments Sounds like you had a good week. That's one thing I don't like is cake.

❶İձ❶ (ttea) | 9617 comments But it's (supposed to be) great cake. � Chocolate with chocolate with chocolate (in 3 colors) :P


(mine never looks like that!)


message 1685: by ❶İձ❶ (new)

❶İձ❶ (ttea) | 9617 comments Mayday! Mayday! Dam broke and chocolate is running everywhere! Save yourself while you can!

OK, try 2 of putting creams on cake...
I've left them in fridge for few hours to try to solidify them and let them think about their actions. First part was fine (I'm not doing it like on pic, but making different color circles in one row) so I started second row and all hell broke loose. Chocolates started running like avalanche on one side of the cake and I couldn't stop it. So I used dark chocolate cream (which after cooling is so hard you can cut it with knife) like clay to 'build' a wall. It looks hilarious.
And I'm finally giving up. �

where are you Tea? I'll be there to help you pick up all the chocolate!!! of course, you may have considerably less chocolate han when you started..ecause I'll eat it all!!!

Find a boot on the map. Then cross a sea to the right and find a dot saying Zagreb. :P

Man, I had more chocolate on me that cake has. I have no idea what went wrong this year. I always had problem with white chocolate (I'm guessing cooking chocolate we have here isn't really for cooking) but this year it's everything.
Maybe that's the sign I should try different cake? :P
And I'm not really giving up. Since I bought biscuit, I have two more left. So that means, two more tries ;) I'm gonna have such sugar rush till end of the year :P


message 1689: by Audrey Jane (new)

Audrey Jane | 1763 comments I'm here! I'm good to spin the wheel this week.

Wow, Tea, in my opinion you can do nothing wrong with triple chocolate. I will come eat it with a spoon or a straw :p I hope you used Belgian chocolate :p The 'how it supposed to be' cake seems really tasty, but maybe yours tastes better :)

Btw I watched the Battle of the 5 armies, and it's really good. I got a bit teary eyed at the ending, now I'm ready to start it all over again :)

You wish. I don't think there is a shop here where I can buy it. Maybe you could send me some for next round? :P

Teary eyed? I was hoping he changed ending since he changed everything else in it. I'm supposed to go next week. Can't wait.

Haha I would :) There're so many different chocolates and brands here that it's difficult to choose. One of my favourite is Côte D'or.

Yay! I'm curious to hear your opinion on it :) He did change some things. I don't remember everything, but in that he stayed faithful to the book. About the addition of Tariel; I don't really have an opinion but I understand why Peter added it.

Audrey Jane | 1763 comments This week genre is Mystery. Staying with option 2, we are going to spell Mithrandir. It's one of Gandalf's many aliases, it means 'Grey Pelgrim' or 'Grey Wanderer' in one of the Elvish languages.
