Another rough night…

Posted on November 19, 2011 By admin

Bean’s been feeling under the weather for the past few days, running a fever and generally being uber feeble. He seemed to perk up yesterday after we thought his fever broke in the previous night but there’s still something there. We haven’t had an unbroken night’s sleep in 3 days – last night being the worst. Between the 3am total meltdown and the 4am cat freakout(*), followed by waking up every other hour, it’s been a looooong night. I now have a tired, grumpy child and an exhausted, grumpy wife. Might be a long day as well…

(*) The neighbour’s cat has started coming in the house again. Bastard.

Bean’s birthday

Posted on November 14, 2011 By admin

It was Bean’s birthday this weekend and we were in Leicester. We went to Twycross Zoo for the day on Saturday, where Bean saw Santa and lots of animals.

  
  

When we got back to the old fogeys’ home, uncle Stu, uncle Michael, auntie Minal, Jeminie and Sonal came over for dinner and fireworks. Was a good evening :) The train cake was well received. We were up until the wee hours of Saturday decorating the thing, but it was worth it.

[Recipe] Chewy chocolate chip cookies

Posted on November 6, 2011 By admin

Ingredients

125g butter, softened
100g light brown soft sugar
125g caster sugar
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
225g self-raising flour
1/2 tsp salt
200g chocolate chips

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.

2. Cream butter and sugars, once creamed, combine in the egg and vanilla.

3. Sift in the flour and salt, then the chocolate chips.

4. Roll into walnut-sized balls.

5. Place on ungreased baking paper. If you want to have the real Millies experience then bake for just 7 minutes, till the cookies are just setting – the cookies will be really doughy and delicious. Otherwise cook for 10 minutes until just golden round the edges.

6. Take out of the oven and leave to harden for a minute before transferring to a wire cooling rack. These are great warm, and they also store well, if they don’t all get eaten straight away!

This is how much the EBI has grown and staff have moved on in recent years. I’ve been selling tickets to the Xmas party and I hardly know any of the people who are buying tickets…

Murphy’s law of cats

For the first time ever, I haven’t closed the toilet lid right after going to the loo. So, of course, tonight is the time that Tolstoy jumps and falls straight into the toilet.

Quote of the day

The world is made up of four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. This is a fact well known even to Corporal Nobbs. It's also wrong. There's a fifth element, and generally it's called Surprise.
--(Terry Pratchett, The Truth)
