Transfiguration
... aka putting your strawberries to creative use.
Behold my extremely yummy strawberry and vanilla custard slices, with a cocoa sponge base (Grandma's idiot proof recipe) and way too little jelly on top:
Needless to say that we had leftover soup and strawberry slices for lunch. *g*
Also: Habemus papam! And an American one, too, which is a first. I never heard of the man, will have to do some research to learn who and what kind he is, but let's hope.
Not much else happened; the traybake was a labour-heavy one, so I didn't have any energy left for being creative in any way. We're still continuing our kitchen cleaning project, but that's mostly Mum's job now: washing up all the stuff we barely use. Our Harrods ceramic sugar jar had an accident: great parts of its upper rim broke off. Mum says it must have happened earlier, but I'm fairly sure it was her, opening the snap seal; it always stuck a bit. I tried to repair it, but my superglue had dried out and the normal one won't hold the pieces for long. I'll try to ask in the craft store what to use next time I'll be there.
