Pans of the Week:
Addiction cheekstick in
Amazing (first
reviewed/acquired way back in 2011)
Guerlain Rouge Automatique in
Chamade (which is, despite my greater affection for
Liu, my most-worn Rouge Auto -- a step up / rose from 'my lips but better' (
comparison swatches), so presumably 'my lips but WAY BETTARRRRRR MATEY'
and
Suqqu Blend Eyeshadow
09 Koju (long discontinued, much loved -- included today because despite hitting pan on it a while back I've only just today had to face the fact that the warm grey (top right pan) really is more finished than merely panned D: So long, my perfect grey palette! It's been a glorious five years :')
Another Pan of the Week (ho ho, seewhatididthere)
Grapefruit pull-apart sweet bread, adapted from
this recipe. The changes I made were motivated by necessity -- I used the zest of two pink grapefruits (so cheap and juicy at the farmers' market last week) to replace the orange/lemon in the original; used a mix of 2:1 light to dark muscovado sugars for the sprinkle; and substituted mascarpone for the cream cheese for icing. Also ate leftover icing from bowl after drizzling. Wait, who said that. I did no such thing. *shifty eyes*
Some process pics since the original recipe is a bit wall-of-text even for me (can't see a glasshouse without wanting to lob a rock at it, me...)

Actually, not only did this come out less pull-apart than fall-apart bread, an extra layer of fail was added by the fact that we somehow managed to eat the WHOLE ENTIRE LOAF for breakfast during, um, tasting. So that whole '14 servings' bit in the original recipe? *hollow laughter followed by citrussy belch*
Happy Easter Weekend, everyone! I've got to rustle up another of these tonight XD
