Show and Tell: Dessert & Dreams

It started with my mother looking at me last night and commenting: ‘Why do you look so yellow?’…that verbal stir quite permanently disturbed my composure….

I was all set to give my holy fluid to a path lab today for confirming what the discussion was indicating – Jaundice….

Anyways, last night it was settled that she would observe me today morning, in the sunlight and make further judgement about whether I really looked like it.

But the word Jaundice clung onto my psyche. Can you believe that one of the questions I asked her was whether I could have Jaundice and also be preggers at the same time?

Then came sleep time…my favourite time. Well, hubby dear had already been on the bed for about 30 minutes when I trudged into the room…I took a bath and crashed onto my bed….with Jaundice Jaundice Jaundice running like a one word record in my brain.

I went off to sleep. And I dreamt, I was pregnant and jaundiced. And I had a big belly and Jaundice…and my baby was fine, but I had Jaundice…then I also dreamt of waking and POASing and finding two red lines coming around (and no dirty J to spoil the party).

I virtually woke myself up very early in the morning today. As if some mental alarm was prepping me to go POAS now! I refused to do so and went back to sleep.

Anyways, today morning I paraded my beautiful face (*hee hee hee*) for my mother to observe…and she said…'Nopes, not yellow at all, maybe it was the light last night.'

One night’s sleep was compromised on the thought of being pregnant with Jaundice, when I may or may not be pregnant, but am definitely not jaundiced. Phew!

Which brings me to my picture…this is a remarkable Show and Tell for me because, this is the first time, something edible is featuring on it. Presented in front of you, Ladies and Gentlemen, is the Sunday afternoon dessert, turned out (especially) for DH, my mother and me.

And Beautiful Mess has a big hand in making me take a picture of it….Our Sunday tweets are a testimony of it.

What went into each of those glasses?

There were layers of:

Fruit Cake
Milk flavoured Cake
Vanilla Ice-Cream
Strawberry Ice-Cream
Plain Custard
Mango pieces

I was able to identify even more things that could have been added into the mix – nuts, other flavours of ice-cream, more fruit, chocolate sauce, different types of jellies, canned fruits…there is endless amount of stuff that can possibly go in…and endless combinations. Maybe next time!

A little less nerve-wrecking writing is here!
