Sniffles...Yuck

So I can't believe I'm posting this picture of myself, but I figured someone would get a good laugh out of it.

I have the COLD of all COLDS...it's knocked me out...FAIL.

I want to crawl into my bed and sleep forever. Unfortunately, I have work so I've become addicted to...

Breathe Right Nasal Strips and Advil Cold and Sinus.


This is what I look like. I'm currently rocking a clear Breathe Right...



XO,

UPDATE: I woke up this morning with my Breathe Right Strip attached to my head...not my nose. I guess I should have stuck it on a little better...oops.

Crème Bru-FAIL

So I was feeling domestic yesterday and I was craving one of my all-time favorite desserts.

Crème Brulee

Maybe it’s the creamy sweet custard or the fact that it’s covered in perfectly charred sugar…all I know is that I adore it.

I went to the supermarket…purchased vanilla bean, heavy cream…all the accoutrements. I slaved, I waited and I slaved some more. It was over 5 hours before I could crack open the caramelized shell and take a bite.

FAIL

My custard was NOT custard. It was more like Crème Bru-soup. I was devastated. All I wanted was some yummy goodness. It was my first big food fail since the Baking Soda-less Irish Soda Bread of 1999…oops.

I will try again…and eventually I will create THE perfect Crème Brulee.

Happy cooking!

XO,

Ash
