noadvertising Or maybe not. I put hubby in charge- I don't eat Krautfleckerl (kraut is bad for my digestive system), so I won't cook this meal. Besides, I do not do cooking à la mutti. So strictly speaking we had Vati doing cooking like mutti today. Hubby ate, son ate a bit, the rest is in the freezer. Why people order such ... in an inn will remain a mystery to me...
But back to my day: We had more snow in the morning. Not much, but I got woken at five by the sound of the snow plough cleaning our street. So I took my tablet to watch my favourites on Youtube (with ear-phones, of course) and was in shock (once again): half of my favs had vanished practically overnight (again)- Youtube must have done another raid and removed lots of videos. I was thoroughly displeased, at Youtube, at myself, because I had not bothered to find a new YT downloader (the old one did not work anymore). I got up late then, because I switched to reading a new novel I had uploaded on my reader. Still not sure if I like it.
After breakfast I did the tricky sudoku and the crossword puzzle in the daily then baked banana-chocolate cake, which turned out too dry, because I was in the basement, to turn the washing machine on, when the alarm went off. Of course, neither son nor husband deigned to take the cake out of the oven. So I made vanilla frosting, since I did not want to do a tour to the shop for heavy cream. Afterwards I started with decluttering the cupboard in the bathroom, the one which has to go. Well, not to go, but which needs stripping then a nice paint, preferably green or greenish-blue to match the rug in the tiny studio. It is supposed to house most of our grandchildren's toys then.
For lunch hubby and son had the ominous Krautfleckerl, while I put pesto rosso over some noodles hubby had left for me. After lunch son and I watched sports on TV- it's hard to find something interesting at the moment that won't involve sports. At some point I dozed off and woke only when it was already getting a bit dark outside. Watched more sports after waking, absolutely not ready to do something of importance. I wasn't even interested in decorating, even though hubby had brought the big box with eggs and rabbits and whatelse of Easter had been stored in the basement. Tomorrow I am to bake a cake again, cheese cake this time. I so hope son will forget about his plan to take a few slices to his on-off girlfriend. What am I to do with so much cake- chocolate cake left from BiL´s birthday, chocolate banana cake and cheese cake. Paradise for hubby, but not for me, since I don´t do sweets so often...
