Late night rambling...
...in other words, the same old drivel. ;P
First of all, I added a new picture to my "favorites" gallery. I just love motion and emotion in pictures - whether it be waves crashing against land, a captured emotion, people engaged in some activity, or even a picture that gives a feel of "motion!" =)
I suppose I have always been a daydreamer - I remember spending most of my childhood and adolescence buried in books, especially ones that allowed me to escape to a fantastical world where I was the hero, had super powers, etc. =) In many respects, I'm still the same way... I keep my eyes focused on a glorious goal while being blessed by experiencing new things and touching the lives of others...
The big difference is that - by God's grace - I'm no longer the hero, but the servant... and I'm totally happy/satisfied with that. =)
=====
What else have I been up to? I've seriously resumed running Lake Merced (helps that there's still light out by the time I get off work! =))... man, I'm sooooo out of shape! It's all good though... I'm determined to get back to my old mark of going around the entire lake in ~30-35 mins!
I spent the other night with Wayne and little Joshie... I suppose it was another mentoring session of sorts: getting a good taste of fatherhood. It's definitely very draining (more emotionally than physically)... and that was only 1 night!!! Ugh. On a lighter note: I've never seen anyone as excited about bath time as Josh! Hahahahaha.... :P
=====
We had a little dinner tonight with some recent college grads; definitely praise God for the time to just chill and connect! =) I was really exhausted though, so had to keep myself moving/busy to keep from collapsing, hehe.
I was really excited about the opportunity to cook for others though! I made an herb and cheese stuffed roasted chicken, and molten chocolate cake (filled with Valrhona chocolate)! I was pretty bummed that I undercooked the cake by a minute or 2 - the bottom didn't solidify yet. =( But people seemed to enjoy it (I garnished with mint leaf, raspberry, and French Vanilla ice cream for color and balance). =) The thing is super decadent though - I was really full halfway through!
=====
*sigh* OK, enough procrastination... back to work. Yeah... it's 1am. =(

Valrhona Molten Cake? Fancy! I love-hate those things just because my timing can be off too. Plus I get a lot of "hey, it's not finished baking yet!" Boo!

OMG, yes! I think I need to get a set of clear ramekins so I can see the bottom! ;P
But yeah... I'm always paranoid about "overcooking" the molten cakes... because it's pretty pointless if it cooks all the way through, amiright?? =)
