Well day one nearly completed and so far all rules stuck to.
Gold star to me !!!
Friends over today... check rule book .. if it can be made.... make it !!
What could be a better way of impressing your guests than to make a chocolate cake... simple..
problem being just found out they are cealic... can't be difficult to make a gluten free cake ...right  ??
Easy recipe duely found...
Perfect......!!!!!

I would present my cake to them with gasps of eager anticipation.. oh while smiling sweetly and slightly smugly saying.."oh just a little something I knocked up earlier... well at least that was the plan.....
Sadly this is what emerged from my oven...

Oh dear .... and no plan B ... only option to disguise my culinary disaster with chocolate sauce.... good plan .....
End result....Ta da aaaaaaaaaa !!!!

Then this got me thinking... just maybe I am like my cake...
I strive for beauty, perfection and aim to impresss.... but why ????
The reality is a few jumps , bumps, imperfections and a bit deflated.....going from one drama to another.... but the fact of the matter is it's ok and it doesn't  matter.... those who are important to us don't really care and are not bothered in the slightest and to be honest nor was I... everyone enjoyed the here and now and being together, and ignored the imperfections, that's what we need to remember

and not the nonsense of impressing and just embrace who we really are. Xx
