Who Is The Black Chinaman?

Saving someone's life is like falling in love. The best drug in the world. For days, sometimes weeks afterwards, you walk the streets, making infinite whatever you see. Once, for a few weeks, I couldn't feel the earth - everything I touched became lighter. Horns played in my shoes. Flowers fell from my pockets. You wonder if you've become immortal, as if you've saved your own life as well. God has passed through you. Why deny it, that for a moment there - why deny that for a moment there, God was you? I realised that my training was useful in less than ten percent of the calls, and saving lives was rarer than that. After a while, I grew to understand that my role was less about saving lives than about bearing witness. I was a grief mop. It was enough that I simply turned up. Living and working back in Brunei, after a 14 year absence... Also known as: Brunei, NASA, Bruise-Eye, Bru, Cheesecake, Nick, BruNick, BruMedNick, Two Step etc etc etc

Is Confectioners Sugar The Same As Castor Sugar? Or Is That Icing Sugar? Can't It Just Be Sugar?

Man, am I stuffed...

The cake came out well; there was a time when everyone thought that they were going to jump out of the pans and then attack the kitchen (no one said that the damned things would expand to three times their size! AND I filled it to the top too!)...so, Oreo and Toblerone cheesecake tomorrow...:)...and probably pavlova over the next couple of days...

What to cook for tomorrow's lunch too? Thinking about Chicken Kiev...just bake it or pan fry I wonder? Been having serious chats with Grace too...but that's as far as they're going for this domain...:) (Did I mention she was coming over for lunch?)

There was supposed to be pictures in this post...but somethings happened, and I've gotten my first ever bX code from Blogger...apparently these happen a lot to some people, but this is the first one in the five years I've been around...albeit sporadicly...

*Sigh* How the hell do you squish 2500 words into 300? I better get some sleep and try to figure that out in the morning...

I will say this though, I'm kind of grinning from ear to ear...as Karyn said to me earlier today...

"Karynlicious says (9:31 AM):
well, date grace, it might work out. If it doesn't, it doesn't. but at least her first real relationship was with a decent guy."
