i finished making up the creme brulee today . . . as per a challenge from miss e-, i need to perfect it before may 4th. anyone for custard?

my first batch turned out well although i didn't get the carmel right. i wish i had a handy blow torch like they use in professional kitchens for that sort of thing. regardless of the carmelness of the carmel, it tasted like french toast, only without the toast. mmm. that's right, isn't it?

it's been temperate out, and most of the snow has disappeared, revealing layers of grit and grime on everything. in the middle of my lazy saturday morning i had rub my eyes, looking out the window. surely my ears were decieving me. an ice cream truck was making the rounds. i haven't seen any robins yet, but the schwann's truck ( an ugly modern one, no less) went down the street, plaing a tinny little midi. thankfully, no one came running out into the street.

that would just be too weird.

i feel like i can't write properly because i've seen too many movies lately and read too many books. most of which feature blatant comma abuse and excruciating run-on sentences. anything that i write comes out stilted and too complicated. and british. damn bbc, damn brit lit. bah. i'll just go back to ignoring this, shall i?
