Pray

My mood just ain't where it should be.
I'm angry, annoyed, irritable and vexed.
It's almost like I don't want to be in a good mood.
Almost feels like I'm on the verge of meltdowns everyday.
Will this get better?

With the Chinese New Years holidays looming large starting today I feel less optimistic.
I don't want to be colliding at home with my bad mood and overall horrible juju, added to the mix is my burgeoning anger with 'people' whom I cannot seem to stand somehow.

Bread up

Loaf from last night. 

It looks, not as billowing and high up as the commercial sandwich breads we buy, I hope to be able to make one that size, but maybe I might need to get another loaf tin for that? 

Not sure, however this is what we have and it looks good. 

Will put a cross section picture when I have my tea. 

Hmm

Tomorrow is the last working day of the week until next Thursday and I'm wondering what all I can do to not be home.
This is the year of the ox!
What does that even mean?
I don't know.
I mean it was rat's year last year and look what happened.

I hate this

The thing about cramps is that they're real only when you experience them.
I don't know how is it that after almost 2 decades of dealing with them I'm still not used to the onslaught of sudden pain that comes in a roaring tsunami lasting only a fraction of a few seconds enough to have one convulsing on the floor, not getting up lest another wave come soon.

And finally

Finally we get it to look like this. Cross section of the lovely log. 

Omelette shenanigans

This is how you go about it. 

Rolling it to one side, then pouring another ladleful and repeating the steps 4 times 

New things

Isn't this the cutest. 

This is a Japanese omelette making apparatus for making a very specific sort of Japanese omelette called 'tamagoyaki' and I'm venturing in that territory today. 

Here's hoping.
