One step at a time






After a disappointing outcome with my macaroons last night, i've spent the last 60 min troubleshooting online!
I didn't leave them to set for long enough and need to buy the following: plain piping tip, a metal bowl, medium size sieve, silicone baking sheet, oven temp gauge and keep on trying!
They tasted good though, i wanted to do a blue colour but thought a purple would go down better, hard to create though so i added red and got the rich jewel colour i wanted on the inside and a papery pink on the shell.

Today I left facebook

Could just be for a week... I'm not sure how long I will last without it  It's been my obsession for the last few months Spending the day with my sister and nephew has helped with my cravings to check in every hour or so and see what everyone is up to.  He's just 16months and already loves phones too  I'm almost sure I'll go back but I'd like to hold out for a month 30-40 days to break the habit and then go back and not get so caught up with it again.  There is still what's app and Instagram and twitter and snapchat and iMessage  I'm still here  I'm just not reading everything that everyone else is doing hour by hour of the day.  I'm not comparing my life to theirs my self to them I'm not competing for attention or recognition

quarter in my purse

Image
Today I found an american quarter in my purse. They look like 10p pieces so I must have been given it by mistake. I stopped and smiled. Rubbed the dirt off it so I could see the detail on the back. It's from South Carolina. It came all that way to end up randomly in my purse. Until now unnoticed. No one else I showed really cared. They didn't see any value in a coin that couldn't be spent locally.  It's times like this that I wonder if I will ever find a friend who is similar enough to me to appreciate the small things like the quarter.
