Going through my handwritten recipe book recently I found a list of ingredients for some kind of pudding (desert), but it had no method to go with it. So, when DH asked for something sweet tonight, I decided to 'interpret' this list of ingredients!
And what we ended up with was pretty yummie! I would describe it like a choc-banana caramel-sauce self saucing pudding.
It had a perfectly crisp top (from where the caramel sauce ran over and 'caramelised' over the edges of the cake), lovely chunks of banana throughout and that all favourite chocolate flavour!
The only thing I didn't like, is that I did not know the caramelised sauce had dripped to the bottom of the oven where it has now dried and set hard.
On another note, when I picked up Master 6 from school, I came home to finish the mowing (I earned my desert tonight - I used the push mower). Master 6 quickly asked if he could mow for me, so once he finished his homework I let him loose on the yard (I had left one side of the house yard for him to finish). I must say he did a fantastic job, zigging and zagging about, but he managed to cover almost every long piece of grass in his section. I am very proud of the effort he put in, it took one hour for him to finish, and I had to tell him to stop (he was looking to keep going!).
Master 6 and I had a discussion about what we got up to today, I told him I went for a run and did the mowing and his response was 'so not that much then'. I had to laugh. Sometimes it feels like we don't do that much, but reality says we do way more than we think! I know I don't do as much as I should at the moment, but I do the essentials (laundry, kitchen, and I feed everyone - most of the time!). I only have 6months left with Little Miss 4 until she starts school, so the windows and walls can wait until then I think, I am having way too much fun playing with leggo, dolls and board games!
