What I wore and other things...

As much as I love blogging it seems I can only do it when I am happy and carefree...and that doesn't seem to happen much these days. Weeks ago I prepared an outfit post...I used to love to do that...on Live Journal...last one dates 5 years back... *cringing*...so here it finally is! 

A pretty subdued outfit for me. I fell in love with that shirt design from MaidenVoyageClothing. I love supernatural and paranormal stories, so this is right up my alley. (It even has a little Mothman, I am obsessed with the Mothman Prophecies by John Keel). I'll probably be getting this shirt in brown too...and possibly some other very cool designs like the Octopus and the airship. Oh, and another thing making this cryptozoology super cool, it GLOWS IN THE DARK. Really!
The shoes are by Crocs, no surprise there. At the beginning of summer they had them is super cute coral and aqua color too, sadly those sold out pretty quickly :'(

Mousse au chocolat

Here's my chocolate mousse recipe. If you follow me on Twitter you hear a lot about it because I make it quite often.
For 4 servings you'll need:
125gr of dark chocolate (NOT milk chocolate, I INSIST, it has too much sugar content and doesn't melt properly)
3 eggs
1 tablespoon of icing sugar
1 can of cream
1 Persian cat (optional)

 Melt the chocolate "au bain-marie". If you're skilled with your microwave, you can try to melt the chocolate in there but personally, I always end up with a gooey unusable blob.

 Separate whites from yolks, keep only 2 yolks. Beginners, no yolk in the whites, no even a tiny bit or you won't be able to beat the egg whites until stiff. Beat the egg whites stiff.

Add a tablespoon of icing sugar to the yolks and beat till frothy.

 Add the yolks REALLY QUICKLY to the molten chocolate.

 Add the can of cream, mix well.

 Gently add the chocolate mix to the egg whites with a wooden (or plastic) spoon...NO metal spoon or you'll kill your egg whites.

 Pour in your bowls and let set in fridge for minimum one hour.
And no, Eugénie the cat didn't move an inch during the whole time.

A new outfit

Believe it or not I always have plenty of ideas to blog about, even photos...and I never get round to posting them. 

Will try to remedy that...eventually ;)

So here's my new outfit for fall. I have had that fabric for ...years. I started the blouse 2 years ago, and then it just stayed there unfinished until this week, when I had a sudden sewing attack and not only finished the blouse but also made the matching skirt. 

And of course Pepita had to help and supervise.
Seen here holding the pattern firmly in place.

Diego was a bit less interested

A summer day, cat edition

Summer is finally here after a cold and wet May. June is bringing some sunshine.

Cats are happy.

Frank not pleased I am not letting him in through the window for the 20th time that day...

Doudou (aka Voldemort) napping/melting in the grass.

Philibert being derpy

Eugénie with her not too successful lion shave (and you don't see her paws, she looks like she is wearing large fluffy boots).

Frank Kitten relaxing in the garden swing.

Pepita noticed I was taking photos so she came to supervise.

Pepita analysing forgotten rag.

Pepita still supervising...

Philibert being derpy some more (his tongue is always out, is it too long?)

Gazette being regal...

A rare shot of Frank, Bob and their mom Eugénie together...well sort of...

Kittens birthday

Well, yes, Bob and Frank Kitten turn 4 today. Weather is not very nice this year...so lousy in fact that even Bob Mega Kitten, lover of the great outdoors, is staying inside.

Frank , half asleep and suspicious...

Bob undecided ..."should I nap or shoud I play? "

And their little sister OTRB Zoé...long gone but not forgotten...
