TWD - coming soon


I am making this week's TWD, I swear! I was terribly on top of things, and made tartlet crusts as soon as this week's recipe was chosen and posted. ... but I was sloppy, and I left the egg out of the recipe... and then I left them out for a few days, waiting for the perfect opportunity to serve them up. Unfortunately, when I tried to take them out of the pans, they all crumbled!
So, tonight, I try again, and this time, I take them out of the pans in a timely fashion and actually include all of the ingredients called for.

I'm a mess.

I thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and make the peanut butter torte for this week's TWD so that it would be done tomorrow when people come over. I'll be done with exams forever, so it'll be a good excuse to celebrate and have a piece. It'll also be a good way to get rid of most of it, so that I don't eat it all by myself!

However, during exams, my brain totally shuts off. I accidentally put in an extra 1/2 cup of cream, but I choose to think that will make it more light and fluffy. Then, I accidentally started sifting the powdered sugar over the stove without anything under it. I covered the coils in powdered sugar, and ended up having to clean much more than I intended. Sigh. I can be smart next week.
