So...I have a meeting/Christmas party to go to tonight and I decided to play happy housewife (for a change) and make salmon mousse.  I have a cool mould and everything.  I learnt one thing - Evap milk won't whip!  I know I've done it before, but I couldn't get it to do even in the Vita-Mix. 

Maybe they've changed the composition since the recipe was written?  Maybe I should have been wearing a frilly apron?  dunno.  Anyway, it's chillin' in the fridge and only time will tell if I have a mould or dip, or at worst, disgusting ooze.  Oh, well.

Then I came back upstairs and my PC was dead.  Gone.  Zip.  Nada.  So after some pretty heroic cursing, it was determined that the UPS battery had failed with no warning.  Sigh.  Anyway, PCs running again, but no printer and no backup power. 

I knew I  should have put on that frilly apron.
