sweet dreams till sunbeams find you.

hello lovelies!

as todays weather is a bit poo i thought i would share a recipe that you might enjoy on a wet sunday afternoon if you're missing out on any jubilee shananigans.

i got the recipe from here and it is very easy to make (it makes a LOT of cookies) mine haven't turned out the neatest as they were a bit close to each other on the tray but they taste delicious. i used a mix of toblerone and some hotel chocolat stuff i had left over from my birthday instead of chocolate chips.

Ingredients 

• 225g (8 oz) butter, softened

• 200g (7 oz) caster sugar

• 225g (8 oz) dark brown soft sugar

• 2 eggs

• 1 dessertspoon vanilla essence

• 375g (13 oz) plain flour

• 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda

• 1 dessertspoon hot water

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 350g (12 oz) chocolate chips

Preparation method

Prep: 20 mins | Cook: 10 mins

1. Preheat oven to 180 C / Gas mark 4.

2. Cream together the butter, caster sugar and brown sugar until smooth. 

3.Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. 

4.Dissolve bicarbonate of soda in hot water. 

5.Add to batter along with salt. 

6.Stir in flour, chocolate chips and nuts. 

7.Drop by large spoonfuls onto ungreased baking trays.

8..Bake for about 10 minutes in the preheated oven, or until edges are nicely browned.

9.Enjoy with a cup of tea (or other hot beverage, whatever tickles your fancy).

now I'm off to watch jazz in the cold outside a pub, with my huge barbour on (may have to slip inside for a warming JD and coke, shhh its a secret)

bless my heart, bless my soul.

papa newman carving up the roast a storm.  said roast.  tomato bread made by papa newman's fair hands (very tasty and i don't like tomatoes).  homemade curry with lime and lemongrass cordial.  cheese and biscuits and diet coke.  due to having lots of spare time things like this happen (mature as ever).

hello lovelies

lately i have been taking pictures of my food for some reason so i thought i would share it because i like seeing pictures of other peoples food (bit of a nosey parker). 

as you can see we attempted to make yorkshire puddings, mama said they were more yorkshire biscuits (still pretty tasty though) any yorkshire pudding tips out there beauties?

i have been taking some more outfit pictures so i will post them this week (i posted one day right after the other and it felt a bit funny) 

i tried doing my outfit pictures on the cream wall in my room they just didn't look right, so you all get to look at my deck for every outfit post (lucky buggers eh?, I'm joking i will probably get fed up and move to another spot) plus natural light is the best light.

hope everyones having a good week, i shall stop rambling now.

you couldn't find me even if you had a radar.

hello lovelies!

hope you've all had a wonderful weekend and that you all have a cheeky day off tomorrow.

i have had a lovely few days, i managed to get my suitcase around the underground without (seriously) injuring myself.

spent friday evening and saturday morning with the boy after a long four weeks apart, so we ate lots and i made him watch tangled (i find it hilarious but i am a child at heart) 

this morning i went for a ride on ginger with mama and just avoided the rain. 

i also made cakes, half chocolate and half vanilla with vanilla and maple syrup butter cream syrup for when the boy ones over tomorrow. 

i am going to be spending the rest of the afternoon in my bed with tea and cake (just realised we own a unnatural amount of wallace and gromit mugs...)

love livvy
