Easter Monday!
I ate enough food yesterday to probably hold me over through today.
Dinner at my aunt’s was mostly a success, she made some really wonderful food (ham was perfect!) including green beans with bread crumbs that is my favourite side dish of all time.
I made the chocolate stout cake and everyone loved it - or at least, they said they did. I have this weird complex (which I think comes from being the youngest child) that makes me think that everyone is saying things I do are good just to please me, giving me the false hope that I am actually good at something. This problem I have isn’t as bad as it used to be, but obviously I have some of it lingering in the back of my mind. Also, I think the cake should have been baked for five less minutes, and then everything would have been perfect.
The ganache was nice.
My cousin, however, was having an ‘intense’ day and was saying more inappropriate and annoying things than usual. His racist comments were echoing off the walls - we did the usual ‘ignore’ tactic, but he was just too overbearing at times and eventually it got to the point of not wanting to say anything at all in fear of him turning the most simple statement into something that would make everyone feel uncomfortable.
Such is a family dinner.
I did wake up yesterday to see a message from Sean telling me to look in the bathtub, where he strategically placed two lovely easter eggs.
So that was pretty nice.
