Looking on the bright side

So my gnocchi merged into a delicious mush, that tasted right but lacked texture, sometimes that's just the way things are.
Similarly the pavlova texture was all wrong, but oh my it tasted amazing, almost better that the right texture would have been. Looking back I should have trusted my instincts on the whipping and talking to my brother (who completed a chef course so I consider him an expert in these things) he agreed with me. His suggestion is to whip in the cornflour and vinegar first as they are stabilizing agents and then fold in coffee sugar, not the other way round.

Despite the less than positive events in the kitchen it has been a pretty good week. I finally managed to work out how to dry my hair curly and keep the fringe not kinked. And....

.... I passed my driving test at last.

I kinda feel like it is all going to be taken away from me, definitely doesn't feel real though. Not yet gone out solo but very much looking forward to it.

And I need to make me some peanut butter brownies or cakes or something as it's all I've been thinking of this week. Mmmm peanut butter.
