Good Morning :hello:

Hope that the day has started well for you, whatever you find yourself doing today.

We are off adventurising

Chocolate cake is involved

I spotted a link that justdaj had left on Frugaldom's Forum for a recipe that Sarah had devised for a £1 chocolate cake :j I followed the link over to Sarah's blog to find the recipe and had a bash at making it last night when the oven was on to make bread.



Went well...... the chocolate *curls* were especially fun to try out, although if I made them again, I wouldn't be so enthusiastic with my spreading between greaseproof paper - mine were a bit thin. But for a first attempt :j



The cake will easily make 6 portions (cooked mine in a 1lb loaf tin). It isn't quite as fudgy as a cake make with hard fats ie butter/marg. But for a £1, it is easy to make and gives you a choccy hit

Right, I best get going, not got me walking boots out yet Picnic is packed though

See y'all later.

Have fun GP. My adventurising will be going to mum's and coping with small children (the 5yo likes being 'teacher' complete with "It's your own time you're wasting" accompanied by look) and mad puppies (who are no longer puppies but still act the fool and try to jump onto your knee). Not to mention the 26yo and the 80+yo who haven't grown out of/ have reverted to being 6yo.

Ah well, a change is as good as a rest.

Ooooooo - adventurising & chocolate in one day! - try not to overdose!;):D

Today is a REAL day off in the RT household - a do nothing but what we want to day - - OH cooked brunch and has plans to also do 'tea' - all using bottom of the fridge ingredients - manky leeks, very ripe cherry toms, end of the pack chorizo - oh yes and eggs. I'm sitting on my backside - after gorgeous lie-in, followed by a hairwashing session & then having tidied up - dishwasher on - laundry load on - kitchen blitzed - food being digested - contests being entered!:D

Tomorrow we might venture forth...

Sound lush hun! - I'd vote for making everyday Friday if my mister offered to cook Hope you were spoiled rotten all day and that it continues into the weekend

Our day has been brill. We got soaked, but we were high up on moorland, and it was mist as much as rain, but luckily we were on our way back, so a quick change of clothing in a (thankfully) deserted carpark made us comfortable again. Lunch was munched watching - and being watched by - some of the cutest and tiniest little lambs that you have everseen. Pity I'm a practical sort, as had I had me 'andbag on me, several would have fitted quite comfortably inside

A day FULL of simple pleasures. For that I am truly grateful

Funny you mention octogenarian teenagers... mum has today been complaining she has become the mum to her childlike mum who has just reached the 'Why?' stage of dementia. Still mum finds it amusing for the moment, in equal measure to the exasperation most of the time.

Day out sounds wonderful GP. Jealous of the lambs. We can go and feed some locally... the days when I wish I could drive as it is just impossible to get to otherwise xx

Happy Easter GP & DP!

Hope you have a lovely day, enjoying each other's company!

This week's library cookbooks include one on Texas BBQ, another on Pie - and to counter the effects - Heart Healthy cooking!:D

The Spice Odessy is a mighty pretty book - should grace every coffee table in the land;) - but I've not yet been brave enough to make use of the recipes!
