I am a cheat, a traitor, a liar, unfaithful and I hate myself.
I have fallen in love all over again. I cast off my old, tired and boring one and replaced her with a new soft, fresh and gently yielding one. She is something that fits my new needs, she pampers me, makes me feel good about myself all over again. She's new, exciting and man does she look good and in turn she makes me look a whole lot fresher, more vibrant, more me!
Now I am living the guilt trip and it makes me feel so bad. Why did I abandon her? Why does she look at me like that. I am only human, I have needs, wants, desires. I needed something to give my tired, sad and boring image a lift. People look at me now with a smile, they notice how much different I look, how much more excited I am, how much more alive I have become and its all down to her.
But every day I am forced to look at the old her and the guilt trip gets bigger and bigger. Should I dump her, should I just forget all about her after all we have been together for a longtime now, its time for a change, maybe someone else can make good use of her, come to love her as I once did.
What do I do? Should I find room for both of them in my life? Should I treat them as equals and hope they don't get jealous of each other? Am I crazy?
I guess I should just wear them both, I loved my grey hoody once, maybe I will again but for now the new Red one looks so awesome and if its good enough for Bill, it should be good enough for me!
I see people now posting recipes for sickly American goo so I thought I would get my own back by posting some recipes from my own country, England:
This is real easy to make, costs very little yet if done right looks and tastes awesome. The recipe calls for Raspberry Jam ( Jelly to you guys) but you can substitute any flovor of your choice:
Queen of Puddings
Ingredients
1 pint of Milk
1/2 oz of Butter
4 oz of fresh breadcrumbs ( can be either white or wheat)
2 oz of Sugar
Grated zest of one Lemon.
2 Large Eggs
3 Tablespoons of raspberry jam
Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
You will also need a 1½ pint oval pie dish, generously buttered.
First, pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter, breadcrumbs, 1 oz of the sugar and the lemon zest, and leave for 20 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to swell.
Now separate the eggs, lightly beat the yolks and add them to the cooled breadcrumb mixture. Pour it all into the pie dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the centre of the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until set.
Meantime, in a small saucepan melt the raspberry jam over a low heat and, when the pudding is ready, remove it from the oven and spread the jam carefully and evenly all over the top.
Next, using an electric hand whisk, lightly beat the egg whites in a large scrupulously clean bowl until stiff, then whisk in 1 oz of the sugar and spoon this meringue mixture over the pudding.
Finally, sprinkle the teaspoon of caster sugar over it all and bake for a further 10-15 minutes until the topping is golden brown.
Note If you want to serve 8 people, double the ingredients, use a 3 pint baking dish and give both stages a fraction more cooking time.
To any of you who can be bothered to try it let me know what you think of it....it is truly really easy to make and I guarentee you your friends will have never seen anything like it before..honestly!!!
