Getting my knit on.

Posted: February 12, 2013 in Uncategorized

I don’t get much knitting time lately, so have been really limited with what I get done. However, I have a few weeks til Uni goes back, and 3 days a week I am child-free, so I plan to make the most of it!!

25 of the best friends ever!

Posted: February 1, 2013 in Uncategorized

Reblogged from AmbeRocks Me!:

I have 25 exceptionally close friends, some of them I have never met and quite possibly never will!

Just under 2 years ago a friend (that I had never met) set up a facebook page for small/micro Work At Home Mum (WAHM) business owners to network and chat. Within a few weeks the group had over 100 members.

Over several months the main contributors felt the need for privacy as chatter would not always be about work and so the group structure changed and a small group formed and moved away.

Happy Australia Day

Things I Love About Christmas {Rum Balls}

Ok, so I touched on these in my previous post about food gifts, but then last night I decided it was time to make some, so went searching for the recipe I use. I don’t do the ones with sultanas, because the hubby wont eat them (the sultanas that is…he does adore rum balls!)

I am not entirely sure where I got the recipe, but no doubt it was a website such as Taste.com.au or BestRecipes or similar.

Ingredients

1/2 cup dessicated coconut

2Tbl spoons cocoa powder

1/2 cup milk powder (Nestle Sunshine is good)

250g plain sweet biscuits (I use Nice usually)

3-4 Tble spoons Rum (I use Bundaberg)

1 410g tin of sweetened condensed milk

Method

Process biscuits in blender or food processor until a fine crumb, then add to mis=xing bowl with other dry ingredients.

Add 2/3 of condensed milk and form into a firm dough, adding extra condensed milk as needed, then mix in the rum. Mix dough well, adding more condensed milk if it is still a bit crumbly. Allow the mixture to firm up a bit, in the fridge if required, then roll into balls about 2-2.5cm in diameter. Put some extra coconut in a bowl, and rolls the rum balls in it to coat. YUMMO!!

Yep, I know, FOOD!

I really enjoy giving food as gifts, especially when I get to make it myself. Over the years I have made gingerbread trees, rum balls, coconut ice, white christmas, cookies, fudge etc etc.
