Did you ever read this book when you were little? It’s fantastic because it tells it like it is. Some days are just terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days. You know the ones, where you wake up late after sleeping through your alarm, all the hot water is gone and you still need to wash the suds out of your hair then you stub your toe on the vanity while poking yourself in the eye with your mascara wand. Then you get to work and you have an extra class to supervise, its raining and blowing a gale and the kids are all cranky and crazy-like. You forget your laptop and run out of petrol.
So thats not exactly how my day went, but it’s pretty damn close. If you include hitting my head on the car as I got in in the morning. Man, that HURT!
All through the day I was scanning my brain for something warm and gooey to make for a dessert. A little something that I had all the ingredients for and would definitely put a positive end to my day. I had a flashback to the Masterchef Tarte Tatin which would do me a favour by 1. being totally tasty and 2. using up some left over apples and a lonely sheet of puff pastry.
But I forgot, I was having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. And unfortunately, the only thing that can end a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day is going to bed and waking up the next day. What should have been a fairly quick and simple dessert turned into… well..
this.
Everything that could go wrong, went wrong. Burnt sugar, old, weird pastry and general failure.
At least there’s always the promise of tomorrow… and a foolproof cup of hot milo.
So, my lovelies, what do you do to try to turn a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day around? And does it succeed?
Oh you poor thing! That’s no good at all! I say make a bad day better by going shopping or out to eat 🙂
Ah, awesome! Well written post, Katie 🙂 Sorry to hear about your bad day. I’ve had days when I’ve smacked my face with my own car door, and yes it hurts! (your pride also… haha) Those days are meant for crawling back into bed, but unfortunately that never seems to be an option. I hope you try the tarte tatin again… it’s probably my favourite dessert *drool*
