Because. Just because.
Cousins and Jazz!
I like to watch a specific TV show with my specific cousin Ruth. But I’m not on station so I was able to watch it with her this time. We ate lovely food, we scrapped, we shopped, we even ducked up to my Auntys for birthday cake. And we talked and talked and talked. Meanwhile,… Continue reading Cousins and Jazz!

Choc rice bubble slice
Crush a packet of biscuits. Either arrowroots with a tablespoon of cocoa powder or a packet of chocolate biscuits. Whatever you have on hand (which on a station is a major factor) Add 2 cups of rice bubbles. But if it’s cocoa pops then my comment above applies again. Make a caramel sauce. Best… Continue reading Choc rice bubble slice
