You know that saying about insanity being the definition of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? Guilty. Every year in February, I whine and cry about how I’ve fallen behind on my birthday duties. This year was no exception.
Wah. See what I mean? No mercy. No pity. Just sheer exhaustion from overloading my schedule. But if we talk about the baby steps towards fixing this character flaw it’s just likely to further substantiate the whole opening sentence to this post, so let’s talk about food. My happy place.
Today’s food talk talk: Mochaccino Custard. I love this easy recipe. It takes no time to pull together and seems to always work for any occasion, i.e. dressed-up dinner or casual gatherings–everyone loves it.
