Living for the weekend

Ten things I must do this weekend:

• Swap the 'warm grey' paint that we bought at Homebase the other week which turned out to be purple for a paint that is actually a warm grey.  I like purple, but not on my dining room walls.
• Book the band for the wedding.
• Actually do some Uni work rather than saying I must do it and instead watching The Walking Dead a million times just to see Norman Reedus running around in a sleeveless shirt. Phoar.
• Try to sleep in past seven o'clock am.
• Order the wedding invitations.

Ordering the wedding invitations is really throwing me off, because it would mean actually setting down the timings, the plans and the guest list in stone.  We have been back and fourth on these so many times it makes me dizzy, and it is now just over six months until the big day.

How to make Tuxedo Strawberries

• Get some nice big strawberries
• Carefully and slowely melt some white chocolate (be patient or it'll burn) and dip the strawberries fully in by the stalk, shaking off the excess and tipping them upside down before placing on parchment paper to minimise the trickles.
• Pop in the fridge to fully set.
• Melt some dark chocolate and dip the strawberries to one side then the other to create the 'V' shape, again shaking off the excess and tipping upside down for a moment.
• I used a wooden skewer, but a piping bag with a fine nozzle would be neater, to create some dots for buttons and a bow tie design.
• Place back on parchment paper and allow to set, at cool room temperature this time so the don't get condensation.
