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.

☕️

Best ever scone recipe -

Take 1 x can lemonade
Add 1 x 600ml cream
Mix in enough of a 1kg bag of SR flour to make a sticky dough (yep - sticky !!)
Roll into scone sized blobs and place close together in a high sided pan (they will help each other rise.
Baste with any cream residue in the carton with a basting brush.
Place high in a hot oven until browned on top.
Leave to cool a bit before breaking gently apart from one another (will have joined together like bread rolls.

Here is where you need some-a that homemade butter n jam ..... 😋
