Easy Slice!

I promised to post this recipe a few weeks ago! Oops, here it finally is!

250g pkt granita style biscuits
125g butter, melted
125g walnuts, roughly chopped
125g dark chocolate chips
125g shredded coconut
395g tin condensed milk
Preheat oven to 200degreesC and line a slice tin with baking paper.
Process biscuits in a food processor until they resemble coarse sand. Mix in butter. Tip into tin and press out to cover base.
Spread over walnuts, chocolate and coconut.
Pour over condensed milk.
Bake for 40 minutes or until golden around the sides ***** Took no where near this long to bake!!!
Refrigerate until cold then cut into small squares.
***Best made the day before needed, difficult to cut neatly otherwise
I cheat and use the already crumbed walnuts!
This is similar to another recipe I have called 'Hello dolly' or 'Layer slice'
Very delicious and very easy, just how I like it!!!
ENJOY!

Isn't she gorgeous???

We had 'Dinner Dance' for the 'horsey one' on Saturday night (our school's version of a formal). Year 12 parents are also invited so it was time to glam up and hit the town. She had the best night, enjoyed every minute of it. I think she looks beautiful.

Just not right!

9pm basketball games when it is wet and cold are just not right!!!! Not happy! I am ready for my flanny pjs and bed now!


(I should confess that yes it is only 5.50pm now)
(I should also confess that it is the 'horsey' one playing and I am just team manager and the only parent to turn up each week and score)

Willow!

We may have inherited a new member of the family!

Meet Willow!

She is gorgeous......but will she make Jimmy any less neurotic??? or will she become like him???

My vote apparently does not count, it is 3 to 1 and even Jimmy and the cats seem won over!!!

Time will tell..........

A fun day out! Cupcakes and more cupcakes!!!

Yesterday I spent the day with my friend Karen. For her birthday I bought us a cupcake decorating class . It was run by Jennifer Graham from Crabapple Bakery.

When we arrived these are the sample cupcakes that greeted us!

Oh my goodness!!! What had we let ourselves in for??? They were amazing!!!!

It was a large class and we spent the first section of the class with Jennifer sharing her knowledge of baking and decorating. After this came the scary part - having a go ourselves!!! We had six cupcakes to decorate but somehow I was so bad at the 'blue' one I ended up with 8 to take home. These are mine...... I am happy with how they ended up but it was much more involved and difficult than I expected. Although I bought a piping set I am not sure just how much I will use it, I am very sure though that I will  use the pot of glitter I bought, that was definitely Karen and my favorite decoration!!!

Since I last posted......

Since I last posted.......
- HS has played his first game of football and escaped uninjured but losing by a massive margin!
- no football today as he has gone on a fishing charter
- hockey began again today for the 'horsey' one who is in the A Grade team, they had a win and she got a goal
- a flying trip to the big smoke to buy shoes and jewellery for the 'horsey' one for dinner dance which is fast approaching
- a 'practice' fake tan (a freebie) for the 'horsey' one, she is now a walking advertisment
- SH has had a trip to Tassie for a conference
- while SH was away I did fulfill my parentel obligations and I did feed my children and wholesome food at that!
- Work has interfered with life!!! anyone else have that problem?
- I attended parent teacher interviews with the 'horsey' one , without SH again!, a trip to Tassie was convenient!
- I managed to get to quilting today and worked on my clamshells, left early to see some hockey but misjudged the time and missed the whole game, oops!
- made a new slice, will post photos and the recipe tomorrow!

In a nutshell that is it, nothing of any great excitement or interest...................
