Chocolate cookies with the kiddies

-
Perfect day for baking today. The weather is awful!

I found a quick and easy recipe to make chocolate chip cookies on Good to Know:

It makes 20 cookies.

Ingredients
225g caster sugar
300g plain flour (sifted)
200g of butter melted
1tsp vanilla extract
1tsp of baking powder
A pinch of salt
1 egg
150g chocolate chips


Method
- Add all the ingredients (apart from the chocolate chips) into a bowl and mix together.


- Once you get a dough texture, knead using your hands.
- Add the chocolate chips and mix together using your hand again.


- Spread some butter onto a baking tray.
- Take some of the dough, roll into 2-3cm ball then flatten a little.


- Place in the oven and bake at 160C, gas 3 around 15 mins. They're ready when the edges are golden.


Enjoy!

What is the dumbest (yet funniest) thing you have ever done?

You will never guess what I did today! I drove to the local Tesco during lunchtime (because it was raining), park my car, get my sandwich (nothing exciting - ham and cheese) and walk back to work. A couple of hours later, I look out the window. I cannot find my car. Where is my car? Did I park it somewhere else today? I go to the (company) car park. The car is not there. Where is my car? Did I leave the keys on the contact and someone stole it? I run back to my desk, check for the keys in my handbag. I find the keys. WHERE THE HELL IS MY CAR??? By then I am completely panicked and I am shaking. I finally remember that I drove to Tesco... I take my car keys, storm out of the office (without telling anyone) and run as fast as I can to Tesco. On my way to Tesco I get a few weird looks from passers-by. What? Have they never seen a woman sprinting in stilettos? Apparently not :). My guess is that I may not have been very gracious. Sorry people I was i...

Baby shower gift for the dad-to-be

A few weeks ago, I organised a baby shower for my sister-in-law. She is due at the beginning of December. I am going to be the Godmother and I am really chuffed about it. Because all the family was gathered together for the weekend to attend the baby shower, I thought I could organise something for the dad-to-be too (not a baby shower as such, but a few games and a gift). Around dinner time, we played three games: - Blindfolded baby changing game - Pin the dummy in the baby's mouth game - Name that poop game Blindfolded baby changing game The aim of the game is for the dad-to-be to dress a doll. The trick is that he must be blindfolded. It was amusing to watch. Tip: If the parents-to-be are having a baby boy, spray dad's face with water when he is putting the nappy on (use a child's water pistol). He will not expect it! Someone should prepare him for it :). Pin the dummy in the baby's mouth game I don't think that it really needs explainin...

Chaos: The best word to describe our family

Yesterday was a nice hot day. We thought it would be nice to have a Fish and Chips at the beach. So we did! It was really lovely and relaxing having our dinner whilst looking at the sea  until the dog arrived. Tr evor and the boys had finished their dinner by then and were throwing stones in the sea when a little dog arrived. The dog had a ball in her mouth and clearly wanted to play "fetch". Trevor threw the ball once, twice, three times... But the dog kept coming back for more. It was fun at the beginning but after a while it became a bit irritating. Also Dylan is petrified of dogs. Trevor decided to throw the ball very hard hoping the dog would not come back but, when he did, his ring flew out in the air!!! We were both shocked! Where did it go? None of us saw where it landed! We went from shock to panic mode and started searching frantically for the ring. But then it got even worse... Dylan made a poo in his pants, R yan...
