nausicaa83I'm feeling like doing my best Mushu impersonation, I'm aliiiiiveeeeee! I spent the weekend slowly reintegrating vegetables and dairy products into my diet. Yesterday I decided I wanted to bake something, but ended up making my favourite dessert, which is a cold one, no ovens involved. I call it Dolce Turco (Turkish Dessert), because my mom is from Sicily. In other parts of Italy they call it Chocolate Salami. Either way, it's the best. ^^
The longest part is breaking the biscuits, so I sat down in front of my computer and watched a Blackadder episode with a bowl full of biscuits in my lap. By the end of the episode, I had finished. There's two of them because it's just I only know the amounts to make chocolate salami for a bunch of people, and I'd only know what to make half of once I've made it and once I've made it I've made it. So there. :D
In the evening I went to the gym. I was planning on taking it slowly and all, and yet ten minutes in my blood pressure dropped so much I almost faceplanted on the floor. I wobbled outside, in the little lounge with the couch, where a friend of mine was reading a book. She drove us there but she wasn't feeling well, so she was waiting for us to finish. As it happens, she didn't get to read anything, because I ended up with my head on her lap, and one of the managers of the gym bought me chocolates, and we had the loveliest conversation. Twenty minutes later I went back inside for the last relaxation exercises.
In the words of a certain mighty sky god, I may have very slightly overestimated how fine it would be. Today I'm still feeling ditzy, but a lot better. Plus I have all that chocolate salami waiting for me, and chocolate is the best for blood pressure. *_____*
Off-topic note, In Our Bedroom After The War by Stars is the best post-finale Thorin/Bilbo song out there. Just saying. ♥
