Have a beautiful weekend!
Have a beautiful weekend!
This is stupidly easy but the end result is so gorgeously wicked. With just a few steps, you end up with a generous slab of chocolate studded with whatever treats you like.
I loved the jewel like appearance and chewiness of the dried fruit with some crunch from sunflower seeds (well basically I used what I had in the fridge but that’s the beauty of this). In a moment of sheer genius (hah) I thought to add some chilli flakes to the melted chocolate and it added a very subtle spicy base flavour which was really quite delicious with some sea salt. But both are optional and obviously you could add anything you like. This would make a wonderful gift for somebody too.
Naturally I ate too much!
Have a relaxing weekend all 🙂
And some cute kitty cat shenanigans from Simon’s Cat:

So we went to see Dave’s exhibition last weekend and it was ace! Typically we went on the very last day but there were still heaps of people so probably just as well.
His paintings and drawings in particular are so trippy, weird and beautiful (although some are quite confronting). Here are some piccies if you want to see, or if you didn’t get to go.
Have a lovely long weekend all.
These are so easy to whip up. I love how the chocolate chunks were all melty warm from the oven.
I used a friand tin to make them a bit fancier but a normal muffin tin will do.
Because I like cups of tea.
I really like the look of the Amy doco. Amy’s life (and untimely death) reminds me of Janis Joplin quite a bit. To think of such a beautiful voice and soul being gone too soon is so sad to me.

So I whipped up an autumn inspired luscious squidgy pudding full of caramel, apples, cream and brioche. So good with thick cream!
Well I don’t know about anyone else but I went through so many tissues for the last ep! Am a very sad panda now.
And here’s to Betty Draper. I know some people disliked her but she had so much depth and despite (or maybe because of) her many faults, I loved her, plus she was fabulous. For so many reasons, Betty reminded me of my own mum who was born probably 15 years after Betty; being a product of her time and with the expectations and limitations of that time, she lived the only way she knew and was often misunderstood.
I’ll really miss this brilliant show which has been a part of my life for 9 years (!).
