Working Girl Wednesday: Rough Day? Go Home and Flambé Something

My current rough week started out with a rough Monday. I'm not whining (much). We all have rough weeks, and this one just turned out to be mine.

So I tweeted:

(That's the link to the blog, Paralegal Hell. Wonder if I should go ahead and grab the domain name, Paralegal Purgatory?)

And my virtual paralegal Twitter buddies rallied 'round.

One said, "There's always room for one more in Paralegal Hell."

(That's good to know - I think.)

So I raised a [figurative] glass, and toasted, "All rightee then! Icees all 'round!"

To which another paralegal (you know they're the real deal when the conversation switches immediately to food), asked, "What about baked goods? Will there be baked goods?"

Well, Paralegal Hell wouldn't be any fun without baked goods, so I confirmed, "You betcha. Alcohol is involved," and tweeted the link to this flaming dessert recipe, Bananas Foster.

I'm a fool for bananas, and the recipe has some awesome ingredients, including brown sugar, French vanilla ice cream balls - and rum. And you get to set it on fire - on purpose.

I think flaming desserts could be another good outlet for stressed-out paralegals. Instead of setting our desks on fire, we can go home and flambé ourselves a sinfully rich and comforting dessert.

Or, in my case, dinner...

Who knew Hamburger Helper ignited so quickly?
