OH … MY ... HEAVENS! I took a recipe I’ve had for some years, from another lifetime, in another city (actually, it’s an overgrown rural town, but with little of the charm of rural life and none of the pizzazz of a city!) and manipulated a few key ingredients. Doubled the recipe to make two cakes, added a packet of frozen raspberries, filled with fresh, stiffly whipped cream and raspberries then dressed with a chocolate ganache. I’m calling Sin on a Plate!
The GOFA has a sweet tooth, so I thought something a little different would be nice. And whilst in the baking process I didn’t consider the calorie content of this masterpiece, one bite told me I was in food heaven but hipster hell. Yet, after my creative efforts, the GOFA diverted to a world of relative peace to de-stress after his horrid week, leaving my edible offerings languishing on a plate. In the dumps, I’ve indulged in some Sin myself, balancing the calorific intake with roasted vegetables for lunch and a long walk each day. Would you believe that my work trousers actually had some room round the waist on Monday? That proves to me that I can eat such indulgences as long as I walk LOTS!
So it’s off for my walk now, before I head to work early to study for a couple of hours and then settle into the late shift (midday to 10 pm). The remaining Sin is going to work with me; it won’t last much longer with the fresh cream. Someone else can exercise his or her derrière off. The GOFA will have to wait for a special occasion with lots of guests for me to make the Sin again. It’s too dangerous for us on our own!
