my Easter tree, and my 2nd hand shop finds, the lamb and ducks made a lovely center piece
Salty Caramels
and
Simnel Cake
well I'm not the best cook in the world as i can never be bothered to weigh the ingredients and if i don't have something i use something else!
This is my caramel bubbling away, but i don't have a thermometer to test when its reached 'hard ball' 250 degrees f, so i just guessed! it resulted in this,
Looks good, it is cooling and i shall be slicing it and wrapping in the morning, i used all the wrong sugar but ahhh!
the simnel cake is cooking but that is looking a bit wrong!! ill take pictures of it decorated........the marzipan looks fine though!
I feel quite proud!
Manage to add a few things to my shop, its a bit tricky and taking me a looooong time with only two fingers
New camera yeah!!!!!
New chair................NOT YEAH!!!
i grabbed on to the sides of the seat to get up.... and it collapsed trapping my fingers!!! they were stuck for 5 mins before someone was able to help me. its the worst pain i have ever had!(3 kids no prob!)
i was lucky that they are not broken, i have crushed the tendons, 3 fingers on the right, two on the left, i am able to do things with my thumb and forefinger on both hands. i have damaged the nerves on both my middle fingers, they have no feeling yet!
i feel so silly, i cant do much,and its very frustrating, its made me realise how lucky i am to be able to make things and knit.
