it's wednesday, and i'm sick.

eating m&m's helop a bit...
my head feels like it's full of mucus filled balloons.
my throat feels like there's a million little kitties scratching away inside it.
not so nice.

i will be attempting a sublime stitiching owl in a frame for my friend's b-day tomorrow.
*fingers crossed*
i'm also making her a little red velvet (with purple bows) and cupcake arrangement.
it will rock, hard.

ooh, anyone know what to do with mustard oil? it says for external use only. i've looked up on wikki and it says that it's just a way to get around selling restrictions in certain places & to heat it to its smoking point. it's used in areas in india and bagledesh in cooking all the time.
... i'm nervous about using it.

jer's making butter chicken tonight, i'm excited about that!!


here's some pics of a farm fresh mini tomato tart i made a few weeks back. frozen puff pastry is a life saver
sorry, there's no finished product pic..
i was so excited to munch on it that i forgot to take one.



i drizzled a bit of balsamic and sprinked some of my balcony fresh basil on top before eating it.
pretty fantastic, i have to say.
