I had to drink a "fat boy" coke this afternoon. I wanted diet, but since the diabetic person I was with asked for "coke" I swapped them!! #
Today's a 9hour day at work, at 3 different locations. Oh well just over 2hours left. #

“Fashion” apparently

I’m certainly not the type of person who keeps up with fashion, and quite often I look at what’s in the fashion shops and think “ahh” or “eww”!

Today I walked past Next and spotted a jumper I NEVER thought I would see in Next:

Here’s another one that made me laugh – it look like something a 7 year old or younger would love!

@davewalker sounds like rubbish. They should honour price on shelf, otherwise it's false advertising and can get them in trouble! in reply to davewalker #
So glad my pc at home is faster than the ancient one at work- takes an age to do things online! #

Neglect

I really have neglected this blog recently. I just haven’t had the time/motivation to write blog posts for a while! Maybe I should try to post at least once a week or at least once a month.

Pudding

admin — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 09:05:43 +0000

Yesterday I realised I needed to make something for our church family lunch, because we’d agreed to bring pudding for 15 people on Sunday, and hadn’t got a bought pudding/cake that we could bring. I’d been meaning to make flapjacks again, because I made them many years ago for church and they went down really well. This time I had to use a different recipe, for a few reasons: I don’t have the recipe that I used last time (I found it off the Net), I used bananas in the last recipe and I had no bananas to use! I always prefer using honey instead of golden sugar – just makes me feel like it’s a bit healthier as it’s more natural.

It made enough for 10 people, so I thought hmm, what else can I make. I realised I had tins of pineapple in my cupboard and felt inspired to use it. After a bit of googling, I found a pineapple cake, with only three ingredients. I was a bit unsure if it would work, but found the recipe on a few sites, so I thought it can’t be that risky. I decided to make half the recipe, because I was getting low on self-raising flour, caster sugar and meant if it didn’t work I’d only wasted one small tin of pineapple.

The recipe was:
125g Self-raising flour
100g Caster sugar (although I used 50g sugar and 5 dessert spoons of sweetner)
227g Can of pineapple (supposed to be crushed, so I quickly blended chunks)

Cook in the oven at 180 degrees. Cook for about 30-40mins. It turned out lovely! Such a simple recipe. It’s quite a stodgy consistancy though, because there’s lots of pineapple in it.
