Murder in a Warehouse; Chapter Two: a One Night Stand

writing: Stories

Funny thing about amnesia, you forget almost everything, your body forgets nothing. Your lungs remember how to breathe. Your heart remembers how to beat. Your hands remember how to pull back the slide on a gun so you can be sure there’s one in the chamber. Your legs remember to walk quietly and keep you pressed against the wall making a smaller target when you enter a room. It’s strange the things that don’t leave you, even if you have no idea why you are checking every door, window and peephole in your room to determine every way you could exit quickly, quietly and unseen or anyone else could enter the same way.

World War Z(a pre-review)

Hitting The Wall

In addition to becoming more physically fit I also want to become more spiritually, emotionally and mentally fit. This, unfortunately includes social aspects of my life. Right here and now I want to apologize to anyone that I have offended or discomforted in any way. I confess to being a very insecure person when it comes to people I care about and sometimes I make mistakes, more often than not when I do, they are pretty big ones. This isn't something that I am ignorant of or complacent about. I'm trying, so please don't give up on me.

food

Gourmet Ranch

Ingredients:

- 1 puff pastry (the frozen kind works well)
- 250 gr / 8.8Oz of dark chocolate
- 4 eggs
...- 200ml of cream
- 125gr / 4.4 Oz of sugar
- Vanilla (optional)

Method:

- Pre-cook the puff pastry in a round mold for 15 minutes at 180 C/ 350 F / Gas 4. Put some dry lentils / stones to stop it from puffing too much.
- Mix the eggs, cream and sugar all together (+vanilla)
- Take out the pastry from the oven and grate the chocolate on it (after removing the stones / lentils...)
- Pour the mixed eggs/cream/sugar on top of the chocolate
- Put back in the oven for 20 minutes at 200C/400F/Gas 6, but keep an eye on it to make sure that it doesn't burn.

Wait for it to cool down a bit, and enjoy!
