The Real Jenty

You would think that after eating quite a few of Angel‘s red cupcakes on Friday and yesterday, that I would have had enough.
But nooo, today Bananaramagirl and Snowgoose had cupcakes for us to eat for the photoshoot… and they were divine.  These ones were chocolate with butter icing and the most gorgeous crowns and gold T’s decorated them.
In fact,  I’m yearning for more.  They would go down so well tonight, while I’m editing… and we don’t even have a chocolate in the house!

Oh woe is me (

I made tortillas for supper with mince and cheese and lettuce. As usual Bradley wolfed it down, as wraps are his favourite food… Connor however, gave up and had a banana and a naartjie instead.

So we got talking about our favourite foods. Bradley’s is wraps, Connor’s is hamburgers, and the kids asked me what mine was. And of course, my answer wasn’t simple… because I can’t choose just one food item as a favourite. My answer was curry, prawns, ribs and sushi

Lance asked the kids if they knew what sushi was. Bradley said yes, it’s raw fish… and turned his nose up.

Connor was silent for a bit, before piping up “but if you eat a fish… it’ll go all flappity flap in your tummy” (while waving his hands around)

Haha!

Being Brazen has a few questions that beg getting answered again….

1. Snack of the week… snack biscuits and blue cheese
2. Currently I am craving… a cappuccino and a chocolate croissant
3. Last night for dinner I had… a prawn curry from O’Galito’s in Benmore… I went to a team dinner… hence no #365 photo.  The food was awesome!
4. For lunch today I am having… probably something from Woolies… I’m going to Sandton at lunchtime to swap some clothes that Bradley got for his birthday cos they’re far too small… if you’re wondering… Bradley wears size 8-9 now!
5. Right now my favourite food blog/website is… I don’t follow foodie blogs, almost all other types of blogs, but not those
5. What’s your favourite comfort food? curry – either a thai green curry or Butter chicken
6. Favourite quick meal? egg on toast
7. Italian, Mexican or Chinese? Italian…  not pizza though, I’m so over pizza

and you?

While I was eating a peppermint caramel sundae last night and editing photos and chatting on Twitter, all at the same time, I tweeted that my peppermint crisp tart tasted better than the Woolies one I was eating.

When I opened up my twitter stream on my phone this morning while drinking tea in bed and winding up to face the day, I noticed that Woolies had responded and they want to comment but can only do so after tasting my recipe

So without further ado, here is how to make the easiest pudding in the world (as given to me by my sister and given to her by one of her varsity friends while they were on a student exchange in Sweden)

Peppermint Crisp Tart

2 x 250ml cream whipped
2 x tins caramel
1 packet Baker’s tennis biscuits
1 large slab (300g I think) of Cadbury’s peppermint crisp chocolate grated

Whip the cream and then mix in the caramel (I normally use 1 and a half tins) and half of the grated chocolate.

Line a square or rectangular dish with whole tennis biscuits

Layer the mixture, and then another layer of biscuits and then the mixture etc, ending with the mixture.

Sprinkle the remaining grated chocolate on top

… and enjoy!
