Dissertation Defense Time
I defend my dissertation tomorrow. I'm stressed. I know I'm stressed because I'm not only baking a cake - two-layer fudge - but I'm experimenting with the buttercream frosting in a serious way, adding cinnamon and Carolan's Irish Cream to one batch and setting another batch aside for coloring and running through a pastry bag with decorative tips.
I sublimate my stress by baking. From scratch. In an apron. Manly, eh? :) (At least it's not a frilly apron.)
So, I'm stressed. But, as of this writing, I'm 12.5 hours away from the start of my defense and 14.5 hours away from its conclusion. So it'll over soon enough. One way or another.
If you have any good luck to spare, I'll take all I can get. I'll keep you posted.
