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.

☕️

lol says she who just posted a deliciously looking tempting scone recipe with 600ml cream in it! lol @Faith-and-Hope 😛 I guess the fresh fruit in the jam makes up for it?

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Yep ... super-healthy cream .... ❣ Lol

I do use reduced fat cream in it tho .... but that's just me. They are rich enough like that I think.

Yep with the jam .... high antioxidant .... ❣ I like the French recipe jams that use pear juice instead of cane sugar to set them.

All relative .... have to reduce TimTams in the diet to make room for scones and jam .... 😆

lol @Faith-and-Hope okay good.. so basically I can cook em up guilt free 🙂

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

That's it .... ❣

I often bake with half white flour, half whole meal. You can try them like that too .... less fluffy, more substance, but maybe not to everyone's taste.

@Spookytookims

Oh, and you'd better have room in your freezer cos it makes a lot for one can of lemonade .... lol .... or divide the ingredients into half or a quarter.

If I don't respond it's cos I have fallen asleep. Eyes rolling here ....

Good mornin all 🙂

@Determined ive been fitfully sleeping all night and still thinking of the scones. I think Ive had them once perhaps twice in 5 years... but I shall be having them soon, and as baking is not my strong point (to say the least) I'm rather hoping mine turn out edible because I've found baking and me really don't mix. (Is that a pun?)

Is it because you dont mix well when baking @Spookytookims 😂😂😂

Re: Hot Chocolate Anyone ?

Could do the half-wholemeal version and add grated cheese, onion and herbs @Determined .... but that might need a can of soda water instead of lemonade ....

Good morning ... 😊
