Good Morning!

Another chilly and cloudy morning here, just like yesterday and the day before. I'm missing the sun. Where did it go πŸ˜…πŸ§πŸ˜…πŸ§ I so hope tomorrow will be sunnier as I start volunteering at the hospital tomorrow 😍

Seen anything good lately? I am rewatching Smallville and Everybody Loves Raymond these days as I don't know anything good to watch 🀣 My husband doesn't really like me watching ELR as I relate so much and it gives him headache 🀣 I would always say, yep, that happened to us as well. Ooooh, yep, so true, as that happened πŸ˜… I am so Debra and the rest of the characters are so from the other side 🀣 He didn't like it when I watched it years ago, and he still not liking it that I am rewatching it again πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…

Anyways. Let's talk for the following recipe. I called it as poor man's tiramisu as I didn't use macaroons nor liquor in mine. Still yummy, though 😍
