When I Am Upset...

When I am upset, I eat, so I bake! And after finding out what my friend did, I was upset! So first things first I made chocolate mousse! There is nothing like stirring that chocolate blocks melting into that butter, and the aroma of chocolate in the air!
While the chocolate mousse was setting I then made coffee cupcakes with a vanilla and coffee icing (frosting). I, uh, had to keep tasting the icing to make sure it was right 
After all the baking and tasting I started to feel calmer. I still can't believe he tried to destroy my other friendships, but now he will stay out of my life.
Today I am going to try to finally get my Christmas tree decorated and then watch the Cape Town Sevens Rugby Tournament, the USA and Canada are getting better at Sevens Rugby, England too. But I hope South Africa will win it all.
What plans do you have for the weekend? I hope everyone will have a wonderful weekend!
Photos are mine of the chocolate mousse and cupcakes I made.

@bluesa I do not dislike to do laundry, it's done now. It's snowing heavily here now and we think it will continue during all the night. I know I will get up time by time to check how much there is on the ground.
Have a good Sunday evening.

I'm also a stress eater. Thank goodness I've been able to reduce my stress levels....my waist was suffering.
Today my five year old granddaughter is coming for a sleepover. That should keep me out of trouble.

The chocolate mousse and cupcakes look absolutely amazing! What I wouldn't do to get a bite of your delicacies right now!
Oh, believe it or not I've heard of Sevens Rugby, and remember hearing from a friend of mine that the USA is getting much better at it!

oh, nice one if you get upset. for me, i try to control the outburst of my emotions, but i shout loud when i cannot get the answer i want to have.
so, you get fatter when you are upset, or you just cook or bake and let others eat what you prepared?

I have no special plans for the weekend as I will be working for most of it.
I love chocolate mousse and how I wish I was there eating what you have prepared.

Sorry you had to work most of the weekend.
Now I know, it would be lasagna, sangria and chocolate mousse on the menu if we got together , I send you some through the pc. It would have been nice to visit and eat chocolate mousse though.

@hereandthere his jealousy hurt me and them. It was his choice to lie, hurtful lies. I can't have someone like that in my life.

Baking and eating sweets can be very soothing when our souls have been hurt. I hope you are feeling better and I want one of those cupcakes!!

I also eat under stress. Your efforts look delicious. I hope you're feeling better. Would it make you feel better to write about it somewhere? Either directly to your remaining friends or in a journal?

It is such a pity that food can be so calming. Thanks. Venting here has helped a little, with the baking, plus I have been talking with some of my friends about what happened. I just have to be grateful I found out before anymore damage was done.

Sometimes it is a good thing to keep busy with projects (baking) to take your mind off disturbing issues. Go South Africa (although I do hope the U.S. does well too) 
Is S. Africa's 7's team better than their regular rugby team?
