On my throne...
I sit here, ruling over my subjects…
Or I lay in front of them...
Stroke me Minion!
Where's my food?
Feed me Minion!
Oh I love my minions!
You are my minions!

I woke to a beautifully healthy smoothie made by my darling mum!
Somehow my good intentions git waylaid after swimming (still healthy!) when we passed a MacDonald’s… Kids wanted lunch, I ended up with a meal from there too! Later in the afternoon, I had a bowl of strawberries… Good… Then chicken pie, mashed potato and veg for dinner, still good, followed but the largest hot chocolate, complete with marshmallows melting under a topping of whipped cream…! Again it was the kids fault, obviously! They wanted one, they had small versions, what on earth persuaded me to have a big mug, I don’t know, but I’m feeling stuffed, and slightly sick now!!! Oh the joys of being back home!!!

The kids have been asking me for ages to bake bread at home.. And recently they gave been relishing the fresh bread I buy from the supermarket…
Ok so here goes!
We need
500g bread flour
1.5 tsp. salt
1 tspn sugar
15g softened butter or 15ml vegetable oil
Sachet of yeast.
About 300ml water 1 part boiling 2 parts cold
(I used Allinsons flour and yeast)
- Put flour in a bowl and add salt
- Stir in yeast and sugar
- Slowly add water to create a soft dough
- Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead of around 10 minutes until smooth and elastic
- Shape dough, or put in a tin, cover and place somewhere warm for around 45 minutes until doubles in size
- Preheat oven to 230 degrees Celsius
- Place dough in oven for 15 minutes
- Reduce temperature to 200 degrees Celsius and bake for further 15-20 minutes, until bread has risen and is go.den brown, and sounds hollow when tapped underneath.
- Turn out and cool on a wire rack
- ENJOY!
