Wedi cogino'r cymysgfa am tua pedwar munud dylid ychwanegu'r caws wedi ei garfellu ychydig wrth ychydig gan sicrhau and yw'n llosgi ar waelod y sosban. Tra mae'r caws yn toddi dylid tostio bara ar un ochor a phan mae'r caws yn barod dylid ei dolldi ar ben ochr amrwd y bar cyn ei roi o dan y gradell i liwio pen y caws (fe fyddaf yn rhoi paprika ar ben y cymysgfa caws cyn ei bobi).

 

Ingredients:

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp black pepper
60ml porter beer
200g Cheddar cheese
sliced bread

Method:

Melt the butter in a saucepan and add the flour. Cook this mixture for about two minutes, ensuring that the flour doesn't burn. Add the mustard, Worcestershire sauce and the beer. Cook for about four minutes then begin adding the grated cheese little by little, ensuring that it does not burn on the bottom of the pan. Whilst the cheese is melting slice your bread and toast on one side under the grill. When the cheese has all melted turn the part-toasted bread over and add the cheese mixture on top of the uncooked side of the bread. Place back under the grill until the cheese has coloured a golden brown (personally I like to add a little paprika at this time).

Ingredients:

450g self-raising flour
225g butter
225g sugar
¼ tsp freshly-grated nutmeg
¼ tsp mixed spice
pinch of salt
60g mixed peel
120g currants
180g sultanas
3 eggs
300ml hot tea
6 tbsp milk
1 tbsp marmalade
1 golden syrup

Method:

First prepare 300ml of strong tea. Pour the hot tea over the fruit in a bowl, cover and leave to stand over night. The following day sift the flour into a bowl, add the spice and nutmeg and a pinch of salt. Cut the butter into small cubes, add to the flour and rub this in with the tips of your fingers until the flour and butter are thoroughly mixed. Remove the fruit from the tea and add them to the butter and flour mixture. Tip in the sugar and mix well. Beat the eggs and milk together and add this to the mixture. Finally, add the marmalade and golden syrup and mix thoroughly. Grease a 500g bread or baking tin with butter, line with baking parchment and pour in the cake mixture. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 170°C for fifteen minutes. At the end of this time take the cake out, line the top with baking parchment (to prevent the top burning) and return to the oven for a further twenty minutes (at this point check the cake occasionally; it is ready when set in the middle and golden brown in colour). Bara brith is usually served at tea time spread with butter but it can be eaten as it. It may even be toasted and served buttered.

PENS!!!

In my lifetime, Iv bought a million Pens.
Iv bought multi packs and posh Biros in an assortment of many colours.
Today I get my forms to apply for pass ports for the sprogs.
Form says to fill it out in black ink only.  Ok, not a problem, I bought a brand new pack of 10 pens and I put them over on the computer table for safe keeping. Only when I go to the table, there's no pens. There's loads of other crap on there though but not a pen to be seen.
Nae problemo, there's some pens in the kitchen draw, I'll just go and get one of those. NOPE!! no pens there either.
Hmmmm thinks I. Im slowly running out of options as to where all my pens could be hiding. I check all the obvious places and some not so obvious ones, all with no luck.
Not a pen in sight.
I go up to my room and have a good rummage about. AHA!! a PEN!!! YAY. . . .but then NO!!!! its BLUE and not the required black and if that wasnt enough, IT DOESNT WORK!!!!!
I raid sprogs rooms. find a vast selection of half eaten crayons and dried out felts but no pens!!

Giving up, I decide I will call into the shops later.



Later, Drop C off at her Brownies meet and call into the shop to buy a black pen.
I look and I find :
Felt tipped pens
Crayons
pencils
but NO pens!!!  sob sob :(
I GIVE UP!!!! lol
Who'd have thought obtaining a black pen would be so damn difficult?
So as a desperate measure, I ask a friend who always has everything but the kitchen sink with him when out. and YES he has a black pen that works!!!! GREAT!!
Happily I borrow the pen and carry it in my coat pocket which is zipped up to make sure I dont lose it.
I get home and into my house only to find on the floor behind the front door a BLACK PEN!! trying to escape!!

So what I wanna know is, WHERE DO ALL THE PENS VANISH TO??

Scorpion Pit \m/

One of my fave Jobs was working as a Doorman for my friend's Rocknight =)

Before I got my official uniform, I looked like this

Kinda Scary, huh!! T shirt's a bit of an understatement too =P

Official uniform then looked like this.
(nope I didnt have a sex Change, that is Mr. Scorpion himself my boss)

I didnt work alone, I had 3 others working with me,  Chris and Andy.






Then ofcourse there was the madman Matty

We prided ourselves on our ability to reach out to everyone, including Jesus!!

But all in all, we were one big happy drunken family rocking out together

=)

Right ok, Im completely new to all of this.

If you're reading this then congratulations!! You're officially more bored than me  =)


Suppose I should start with something about me just so you get an idea of what exactly it is you're letting yourself into reading this.


Im Nat *waves* Im the most complicated woman you could ever meet. Not intentionally, just the way things go I suppose. While I write this Im currently 28 years old. Im a single mum to three girls (hormone hell). C is 9 and has ASD (Autism spectrum disorder) K is 5 and the clingy nightmare kinda child and S is 4 with a pletherer of little "problems" as well as having DDEB (dominant dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa)
I love them all like crazy despite how chaotic the day gets and believe me, it does get mad!!

Besides my girls we have 4 cats (Sylvie, Eve, Lilo & Stitch) and 2 Rabbits (Ron and Lady, who thankfully isnt preggers after all!!)

So thats pretty much us. Not as straight forward as it looks either.

I dont currently work (which is absolutely killing me as Iv always had a job since I was 14) due to having both  physically and mentally disabled kids, however thanks to a good friend giving me the idea, Im in the middle of setting up my own business which is proving harder than I first imagined (especially with kids harrassing me constantly)

Hmmm. . . what else can I tell you?
Oh. . . erm. . .Im a Goth. Im a lesbian (currently lol). Im wiccan. IM BLOODY LATE FOR TODDLERS!!!
* I help out at the mums + Toddlers at the local church on wednesdays and just spotted the time*

Gonna have to continue with this laters Im afarid!! lol
