Lego advent day 2

  Another day of advent today obviously. This time a little Lego chainsaw and log of wood. Nice how these little bits of Lego manage to convey what they are with so few pieces.

  Did the breakfast making this morning as I try to do on the weekends so my wife doesn't have to do all the cooking. She pretty much cooks every dinner during the week so I try to give her a bit of a break at the weekend. My skills are not up to much though so sometimes I cock it up.

  Today for instance I made her hot chocolate and toasted raisin bread. Shouldn't be able to mess that up too much you would think. Well thanks to my wonderful microwave skills I managed to make the hot chocolate too hot and she burned her mouth taking a sip of it. I have no idea how I did it, it was the usual thing I do for the usual amount of time. The only possible reason would be I didn't get quite enough liquid in the bowl and so it overheated. The fact is though I didn't see it at all, it just looked like a normal bowl of hot chocolate to me.

  I wonder why I don't see these things. It looked fine to me and I just did what I always did and something messed up. I really have no actual skill when it comes to cooking, I follow the steps I expect and if something doesn't do what I think it should I'm usually done for. Oh well, I'm just glad I have my wife around to feed me :| .
