Clobbered
Yesterday I had oral surgery to drill my brand spanking new implant into my upper jaw. Penny kept sitting and standing up every hour or less until I gave in and coslept around 530am, so of course the neighbors chose this day to have the fucking tree trimmers with their chainsaws and wood chipper come out around 730am. Half my face is swollen and that nostril keeps leaking. Yay. >:( I'd be happier if painkillers made me feel good and painless instead of sick and slightly less pained. Damn you, drug intolerances!
Penny turned one on the 20th. This shit is bananas, yo. I've hardly slept in the past year yet it still went faster than light. I baked Rose Levy Berenbaum's Devil's Food Cake with Midnight Ganache since I may have previously known that my daughter likes chocolate (don't tell the Mommy Police!) Hoo boy was it chocolately, and she got pretty stuck in it since I gave her a whole piece and let her go to town.
Chocolate ganache does not, in fact, make good eye cream
You may or may not be able to see a pinkish swirl on the remainder of the cake; please note, glaze on top of ganache doesn't really hold its shape very well. That used to say "Penny" with an artistic swirl. Then it just looked like a fancy cappuccino, the kind with toothpick art in the foam. Still tasted good, though, and it disappeared quickly.
