Sorry I've been m.i.a lately, things have been so busy here the past few weeks, I've had the 2 little ones sick with ear infections, then the whole house came down with a cold, thankfully everyone healthy once again and back to normal. :)
Miss 8 had her gymnastics competition she had a blast and did really well with her routines, I'm so proud of her!
We were running low on food a few days before shopping day so I made the kids some cheese and vegemite scrolls, the kids ate them but miss 8 informs me they were too vegemity lol.
Never had fudge before so thought I'd give it a try, made some choc peppermint fudge as anything with peppermint in it is a winner for me lol but I'm not a big fan of fudge so probably wont make it again unless its for gifts.
Hubbys been doing his security course which means travelling to and from Lincoln twice a day for me as he hasnt got his drivers licence yet but yesterday on a miserable looking morning we were greeted with this beautiful double rainbow.
Today is Hubbys last day then we have to wait 2 weeks for his certificate to come back so he can finally apply for his security licence again, we've been trying to get it for the past 4 years as he was a security guard in Tasmania.
Strawberries were on special last week to I bought 4 punnets and made up some real strawberry jam, even miss 8 took some on her lunch today and she doesnt eat strawberries so I figure cant taste too bad, I found it a bit sweet but a little bit was nice on some scones with a bit of cream.
After making the jam I found mums recipe book and made some scones, not very often I made scones without cream and lemonade but I didnt have any lemonade so made some old fashion ones :) they turned out wonderfully light. I think I'll keep the recipe handy as the kids liked them so much I had to hide half the batch.
The kids had also run out of biscuits and miss 8 asked if I could make yoyos this time so got busy and made a double batch, they didnt last long either.
YoYo's
180g Butter
60g Icing Sugar
60g Custard Powder
180g Plain Flour
Cream butter and sugar, add custard powder and flour, mix well.
Roll into balls (about a teaspoonful of mixture) and press with a fork, you may need to dip fork in a little flour or custard powder to stop it from sticking in the biscuits.
Bake on 160C - 180C Depending on your oven for about 10 - 12 minuts or until lightly golden.
I have missed your posts Tammie, great to have you back. You have been very busy. I am not very good at making scones, yet my mum wins prizes with hers lol! Those yoyo's look yum as does all the other goodies.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Miss 8 did well at gymnastics :)
xx
I'm not very good at scones either but I did the butter and flour in the blender instead of rubbing it in cause I'm lazy lol and they turned out light and fluffy.
ReplyDeleteShe did brilliant was a bit worried that she wouldn't cope with the pressure as she cried at training because she couldn't remember her routine but she remembered everything and had fun, couldn't ask for a better day other than the 2 little ones didn't like having to sit for hours waiting and they were sick.
