Pressure!!!

Today I prepared some food for Sergio, I told him that I was going to prepare some pasta that I used to do at least once a week when we were roomies, but I felt that I needed to do something more, so I prepared him a cake, I didn't thought it would take me so much time to do it... well I knew almost how much time it would take, what I forgot was that I had to let it cool before I put the frosting in it... and that I had to put frosting.

I didn't take that in to account when I was planning how much time it would take. He was supposed to come to my house at 12:00, but I sent him an email asking him to come at 12:30, but he didn't read it :P (I should have called him, lol). When he came to my house I was just preparing things to make the frosting (whipped cream frosting) and felt pressured to finish it quickly and I forgot to put the vanilla extract in it.

It tasted good, but too much like cream and no vanilla, well that wasn't a problem, I forgot it because I felt the pressure of him being there when I still needed to do other things, and then I forgot that the cake was still a little hot and the whipped cream started to "melt" in the cake, I thought that it would be ruined, but it did not, it didn't look THAT good (I am a little too perfectionist when it comes to food, not that much in presentation, but in flavor and other things yeah), didn't look bad either, but I know that it would have been at least a little better if I should have not rushed it.

Still, the food was good, the cake too, and we finally finished watching the Millennium trilogy. All in all, an awesome day :).

And I just noticed that I didn't take any pictures of the food :/

Oh, and thanks to Sergio's Mom for doing for me some mash potatoes and lending me her kitchen to do some vegetables stir fry (carrot, onion and red and yellow bell pepper), and to Michelle for helping me to cut most of them :P
