Worrying is about as useful as a wooden rocking horse –
gives you something to do but gets you nowhere!
Another windy night out there, we’ve got some missing
lead off our chimney, it’s getting fixed next week but you can’t half hear some
noise in our loft when you’re lying in bed, I can’t even begin to imagine the
hell they’re living in areas where the flooding is really bad.
Anyways on a brighter note, I baked scones yesterday, mmm
they were tasty and not to large, so I got two with clotted cream and lemon
curd on for 10pp, that was our lunch instead of eating out where everywhere was
booked up or loved up because of Valentine’s day, I also made bread (cheated a
little using a packet mix) and we had burger for tea, just shows with planning
you can eat burgers and cakes, it’s all about quantity!
Scones (Makes 8-10 scones)
(total 34pp)
·
225g/8oz
self raising flour (20pp)
·
pinch
of salt
·
55g/2oz
stock (10pp)
·
25g/1oz
caster sugar (2pp)
·
150ml/5fl
oz milk (1pp)
Preparation method
1. Heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas 7.
Lightly grease a baking sheet.
2. Mix together the flour and salt and
rub in the butter.
3. Stir in the sugar and then the milk to
get a soft dough.
4. Turn on to a floured work surface and
knead very lightly. Pat out to a round 2cm/¾in thick. Use a 5cm/2in cutter to
stamp out rounds and place on a baking sheet. Lightly knead together the rest
of the dough and stamp out more scones to use it all up.
Optional - Brush the tops of the scones with a beaten egg (2pp). Bake for 12-15 minutes until well risen and golden.
I’m off out for a tasty lunch today too, going to the
boat http://www.oddfellowsintheboat.com/find.php
haven’t been for ages, it serves delicious food, it really does, and it’ll take
a huge chunk if not all of my weekly allowance!
Good job I haven’t been drinking this week!
Think I’ll do some cooking and fill the freezer Sunday, I
have a ‘to eat’ list and it’s getting longer!
Fancy corned beef hash, also have a recipe for WW Au Gratin Potatoes
that looks tasty, haven’t had a risotto for so long, and I really fancy a pie!
Here’s a recipe for chicken and mushroom pie, http://www.happyowls.co.uk/crustpie.html
I think I fancy mince beef and onion pie or steak pie, oh man is it wrong to
want all this at 7.30am! I could eat
everything and anything this morning, I’m going to hold out till lunchtime
though and have something scrumptious.
Yes I feel a foody day coming on, I will be able to
resist dessert I think as it’s real food I fancy, so not as much damage, won’t
drink either because of driving. All
about balance ain’t it!
Right I’m off - things to do, places to be – have a great
day despite the weather.
BeYOUtiful xx
