Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Hi All

There is a thread operating on the Lived Experience Forum under Night Shift where members who are having trouble sleeping for any reason give a bit of a shout-out, to see if there is anyone else sleepless and looking for company. It's been such a great thing, I thought I would start one over here too.

I have had the odd few nights where I have woken up on and off, and my kids have been having a bit of trouble some nights too, depending on what has happened during the day.

Being a carer can be lonely too, so if you are making an after-midnight cup of something hot, and wonder who else might be doing that too, maybe have a look-in here and see if anyone else is about.

☕️

Ah... It's not just me then.

I used to bake most of our cakes and bikkies. Now it's only special occasion ones. I kind of miss that, but can't be helped for now.

I was inspired by @Former-Member 's Roasted vegie Brekky Muffin @Shaz51

It looked so scrumptuous, that I just had to find a muffin picture to add....

We still use our bread making machine 4 -5 days a week.

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

@Appleblossom, yeah, I used to make our bread too. There have been times when we've had all-homemade bread, butter and jam. I do still have a jam stockpile (but the fruit supply has mostly fed the possums this year, grr!) but butter has also been relegated to "special occasions".
I used to have fun doing fancy breads. Stewed plums made lovely "pink buns", grated apple and spice buns, and sometimes I'd do coffee or chocolate breads. Herb breads, sometimes cheesy ones.
I do still make yeasted pizza dough sometimes, and I often add lots of herbs to that, and sometimes grated carrot or apple too.

It is just not needed in our household any more. @Former-Member @Smc @Adge @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope

My son has excluded sugar, bread and milk from his diet and I only buy a loaf every couple months to freeze.

My older younger (??) brother was hands down best baker with his 3 egg yellow bread. I found a loaf on my doorstep once as thank you for letting him stay in my flat for a few months, which I will never forget amongst all his pain and violence. He was also dreadfully competitive which maybe emerged in his foster homes or orphanages. I dont really know.
