And weirdness. Just a few minutes ago, while I was working on the photo for today's post, the lights went out. Well, everything went out. And it's pitch black outside. Fortunately, we have a couple of flashlights at hand. I checked the circuit breaker panel in the utility room to be sure it wasn't just us. It wasn't. Just as we were preparing to unplug the refrigerator and freezer, the lights came back on. So far, so good. Now I get to reset the digital clocks that don't have battery backup.
Yesterday I made a "king" cake for the Epiphany. Well, tried, anyway. I decided, for some reason , to make my cake square rather than round this year. I could say that I didn't want any leftover scraps of dough, but I don't think I thought that far. What a mess it turned out to be. The finished cake looked like a cobblestone from the Middle Ages. I got the fève, but there was no joy in it. We ate the cake, and it was tasty, so I guess it wasn't a total failure. I didn't take any pictures. Sorry.
On the plus side, the landscape crew showed up and did their usual bang-up job on the hedges. I will take photos of them if we have some breaks in today's predicted rain.
So glad the landscape crew was able to get the job done. I love the coca machine! Imagine getting high for only a euro!
ReplyDeleteGreat news about the landscape crew! And, that the power outage was short. I hate when I have to go around and re-set the clock on the stove, the coffee maker, the microwave, and three other clocks in the house LOL, when that happens, but... glad it's back on.
ReplyDeleteI bet that we would have thought that your galette was beautiful, but, I'm sorry that you were so disappointed with it, after all of your good work on it... your royal highness!
