I've just done my first solo-with-car trip to the supermarket. I managed to park neatly there and outside the house, too, so I'm very proud of myself.

My trip was in aid of making a summery trifle for Chris and Vicky's 10th anniversary party on Saturday. After much debate and discussion with my fellow trifle-lovers glammetalkitten and rockfic, I'm going to do layers of lemon curd, custard, booze-soaked cake, blueberry/raspberry/strawberry and finish off with a mound of whipped cream on top.

If I had any energy or nerves left, I'd go make the lemon curd just now while Dave's out babysitting. (Our almost-niece was wide-awake and determined not to sleep when we arrived earlier on and she's still awake and demanding more stories and songs from Dave five hours later. He won't be eating any dinner at this rate.)

Trifle preparation shall commence bright and early tomorrow morning, I think. Must remember to get Dave to lift down the bowl....

OMG, there had better be pictures of that trifle, it sounds amazing!

Pictures, scratch and sniff and lick here to taste. ;)

There shall be! It would be much better if I made my own custard and sponge, but there are limits to my patience these days. (And to the size of my purse, too.)

I'm not quite sure that I can pull off long-distance trifle licking!

You've made me want to run out and make a trifle.

Mark would kill me. There's only the three of us here to eat it.

You could make a tiny one in a mixing bowl or wine goblets!

It is quite evil to talk about trifle at this time of night, though.

Mmmm...trifle indeed! Can you ship me a chunk?
