Hello!
It has been a long time it seems since my last posting, but I have a good excuse! It is called, work and then Christmas and another good excuse is what we'll be doing tomorrow!
We're having a good time with friends!
We are starting the afternoon by zooming over to Grand Central to see MegaMind, only 2d as the 3d plays in the morning and that won't work.
And then we are all rocking over to Alex's house (which isn't really his he is just 'house sitting' it) and going to have pasta (as we are all thoroughly sick of take-away) and going to play board games and have a fun time!
Alex was over today as well and we visited my sister and my little nephew (and her husband of course)
So that was nice!
But yes so much fun on the highway ahead! But I better go and see what else I can do with my afternoon! I hope you are all having fun as well!
Love Me!

Honeycomb (Nigella's Hokie Pokie)
I am starting this blog with a sweet recipe I learned only last week while watching Nigella Lawson's express dvd.
Honeycomb (or as Nigella lovingly calls it 'my hokie pokie')
These are it's ingredients...
4 tblsp of Golden Syrup
100g of Caster Sugar
1 1/2 tps of Bicarb-soda
Place the sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan and place over high heat
Do not stir.
Once the sugar has dissolved/melted in the melting golden syrup whirl them together by holding the saucepan's handle and just whirling around so as to mix them in properly.
When that is done turn off the heat and add the Bicard-Soda all at once and then whisk together and then pour onto a tray that has been pre-prepared with a sheet of baking paper. Leave to set for about fifteen minutes.
When it has set break it up into the pieces you want (it might be slightly sticky in the middle that's alright if you want it that way)
If you want to you can dip them in chocolate. (Recommended as it tastes sooo good)
But when you have eaten your fill (and if there is any left) they will need to put in an air tight container otherwise they will be a melted piece of goop by morning.
Notes:
Once the bicard-soda has been added you need to really work quickly because it begins setting almost instantly.
I add 5 tblsp of golden syrup instead of 4, to get rid of the Bicard-soda taste that remains in the mouth slightly once the honeycomb has been devoured.
Well there you go!
I hope you can understand my weird and wacko way of typing out recipe instructions...
I would love to hear how it went when you tried it!
