About my life...

So It's been a while since I wrote and alot has happened. First of all we got our whole kitchen and living room painted. It's a project that expanded from November last year till this Feburary. We did the whole living room at once in November and bought the paint for the kitchen in December. The kitchen went in stages. Every once in a while we'd get a whim and paint one wall at a time till it was all done.

Here is the living room in Witchazel Green:
Our kitchen in Burnt Brick:


Here you can see both colors togeather:


The last wall of the kitchen was the funnest because before we painted it we decided to vandalize it with "Art Sucks" because it was a mystery to my roomate Art whether it was about him or art as in a work of art.


In more recent news, we had an international break-the-fast in my ward. My neighbor and I decided to make a Scottish Trifle. It looked and tasted amazing.
Emma and others asked for the recipe. It's simple ingredients just aranged in layers:
Angle food cake on the bottom
Then rasberry jam
Angle food cake again
Vanilla Pudding
Peaches and kiwi
Vanilla Pudding
Rasberries (frozen or fresh depending)
The last of the cake
The last of the pudding
Strawberries
Whipcream
Finally chocolate shavings in top.
It's that easy. the key is presentation. arange the fruit so you can see it on the outside and fill in the middle with more of the same fruit.

Looks delicious! Thanks Charles for the recipe. I like the painting. Who picked out the colors? Will you have to paint it back to white when you move? Your apartment looks so nice, neat, and organized. Is that your doing?
