What did you do this weekend? (I baked bread!)


Recommended Posts

i had to make do with watching it on tv this year, difficut for the child to remain silent and not fair to others there to have her bothering them

 

would have loved to have been there with you all

 

Not to worry. It was packed this year and was well attended by children also. I was pleasantly surprised to see so many infants so well behaved, especially through the two minutes silence. Shame some adults couldn't behave the same.

 

It was quite humbling, really.

Irish Cream

 

250ml Irish whisky (or 150ml irish whisky/100ml brandy)

250ml thick/whipping cream

1 can sweet condensed milk (not evaporated)

2 tsp chocolate syrup

2 tsp instant coffee (mix granules with a bit of the booze first)

1 tsp vanilla

plus anything else you like, hazelnut/mint extract etc

 

Put everything in a bowl and mix gently* until smooth

Bottle and stick it in the fridge (lasts about 3 weeks)

 

*I over-blended mine and my whipping cream became too thick so it separated slightly and I had to thin it out with milk, but it still tastes fab after a good shake! I'm going to try and make it with normal double cream next time.

 

It's a very flexible recipe so you can alter the taste, alcohol strength, flavouring to your exact requirements.

Today I watched every episode of the 'Killing' which came on on C5, the only thing that peed me off was I still dont know who killed Rosie, that was the twist to it, you dont find out till the 2nd series, which isnt coming on tv till next year!!! :)

 

Oh that is NOT good! I loved the original version of this and S2 is out on Saturday! (And you DID find out in the original whodunnit!)

That sounds wonderful, did the merigues work out? I bet they were dead pleased

 

They were really excited because they were microwave meringues which they have decided are 'kitchen magic' It is easy enough for them to do themselves under supervision but the results are impressive.
