Jim

Took my vacuum in, it needed a belt and lent me his, picked it up and brought it back. He liked to do things for me.

I will miss him as an unlikely, older friend.

I unconsciously said something about it becoming routine and he called yesterday and suggested we step back for awhile.

We don't have scheduled meetings, yes some dates but not any form of relationship but I /we enjoyed being with one another; and we both knew any future to be unlikely. I can't stand his smoking but I am still sad.

depressed i need some chocolate

instead went to dinner w ricardo for pad thai

Chocolate steamed pudding

Makes two generous deep ramekins, or three less bountiful ones (which is fine. remember that ice cream?)

Put 50 gr. of 52% chocolate and 50 gr. butter in a big microwave safe bowl. Give them one minute on half strenght, and then mix well with the wooden spoon. Little fingers willl interfere but let them. Butter and chocolate, what´s wrong with that?
beat in an egg, and add 25 gr. of flour and a pinch of baking powder. Mix well and put the mix into ramekins. Cover them with clingfilm and microwave on high for 60 seconds.
That should have a bit of sauce underneath, but if you prefer to have the thing cooked through so you can turn it out, then give it 90 seconds, and butter the ramekins.
(You might need a test run. Microwaves are notoriusly weird, and different from each other)
