Blessed Christmas, everyone!

Have some virtual Christmas cake. My somewhat lopsided Russian Cream Torte might not look very professional, but it is very yummy:



Other than finishing the cake, I had a somewhat rotten day. Woke up during the night nearly every hour and was accordingly dead when I finally got up. I've made Christmas dinner, which we didn't eat because neither of us had any appetite. On the plus side that means I won't have to cook in the next two or three days, which is always a blessing.

I tried to take a nap in-between domestic duties but every time I found an hour to lie down, either the phone rung or a neighbour came over. My cold is still in full swing, so all in all I feel like death warmed over. At least we'll sleep in tomorrow, as Mum intends to watch the midnight Mass, which means we won't have to get up earlier tomorrow. Small blessings and all that.

Oh, no! That must be one hell of a cold! But the cake looks very appetising!

Merry Christmas! The cake looks lovely.
I hope your cold improves soon.

Oooh! That desert looks wonderful. Sorry your cold is still in full swing. Maybe the New Year will be better.

It did spend five minutes too many in the oven but it tastes grand nonetheless.
As for the cold, it isn't too bad... just persistent. *sigh*

It has to make its run; at least I can lessen the symptoms.
The cake turned out very yummy. Good that it's fairly small — only 18 cm in diameter — or we'd eat ourselves to death. *g*

The cold isn't too bad — just annoying. I'll have to sit it out.

The cake looks delicious. I do hope you are feeling at least a little better by now.
