Harry Potter and the Electrical Whisk

Hmm - the title could work as a HP title, one where he tackles domestic appliances but sadly strangles himself to death by the cord to the electrical whisk...

Will not need to read the new Harry Potter - got on wikipedia where there was a summary + a list of who will die and by whom. Brilliant. Have not read book 5 or 6 anyway so this won't make much difference. Will watch the movies though - kind of like Alan Rickman, alot, so that makes up for some of the other less interesting/good actors and actresses. I know I know, I'm harsh but you see - I have watched a lot of movies (mostly due to insomnia in my teens) and I know what I like and I do not necessarily think that everyone who ends up on the big screen deserves it. But that is Sod's Law, I guess.

Anyhooo, had a look in town for something to wear. I don't know exactly what it is until I see it/try it. I did not find it but I bought an electrical whisk as I am baking a cake (a 3 layer one) for Thursday. Got an awesome recipe from my mom "Even you can't fail with this one.." You'd think she was unnecessarily harsh but trust me she isn't.

I can cook 5 course dinners and make various rather strange desserts. I can even rustle something up for 25 people when the power's out (it's happened!) BUT, I cannot, to save my life (or anyone else's), bake an angel cake/sponge cake (sockerkaka in Swedish). They just die on their arses and are completely runied. My dad loves me trying though as he get to eat whatever's wrong. So you can say my dad is happy when I fail, in the nicest sort of way and without being nasty about it. It usually ends with me screaming in frustration and just dumping it all in the sink, letting the dog/s lick the bowl and then sulk for the rest of the day while mom saves me by making the most perfect cake ever...

This time, however, will be different as there are only 3 ingredients and all I need to do is to beat the eggs and sugar until it's really fluffy which is at least 20 minutes - hence the need to purchase an electrical whisk. I am not strong nor patient enough to do it by hand... I hope it'll work but as we say in Sweden:

"Don't shout hello until you've crossed the stream.." (meaning you will probably fall in if you're too cocky about clearing it...)
