Da dah da da da daaah dah ( Hum the Star Wars theme with me!!)

Re the Cat Wars on the dogblog : I think all cats should have to be registered in the same way dogs are. I know dogs are bigger animals in some cases, but cats cause more damage to the wild life, and infinitely more general bother in our neighbourhood. Cats should be kept under supervision too, in one of those lovely runs I have seen on TV so they don't eat the little birds and lizards. I know that when Peri was little and nippy she caught 2 or 3 baby birds and/or lizards, but she has no hope now she is a grown up proper dog. Cat owners need to be responsible for their cats. Speaking of Wars, Star Wars the original movie was on last night. It was the digitally enhanced A New Hope and even though I was in danger of being forced to watch the whole thing, I don't like the enhanced version very much at all. There is a plan to watch 1, 2, then go to the pictures to see 3, then 4,5 and 6 to give a total Star Wars experience in May!!!
Welcome to the wonderful world of Easter TV where for the next fortnight there are wall to wall repeats of almost everything. There are new episodes of Enterprise, Dead Zone, Stargate SG-1 and Jeremiah, all on after the magic 10-30 pm time, but anything else has been given the boot. This does mean Karen cat catch up on her 86 tapes. I am up to tape 77, and I have watched a fair proportion of the TV on the more recent ones so I feel quite in control. Of course now Karen is taping things for me to watch, it is a vicious circle of TV watching. Today there will be 2 more episodes of Blake's 7 to be seen, and I saw season 4 I think, of Due South on the IMDB. I shall search for it as we really need that. You can never have too much Benton.
Coconut Easter Eggs
3 cups icing sugar
395 tin sweetened condensed milk
1 tspn coconut essence or vanilla extract
yellow food colouring
Optional - 200 g chocolate
- 30 g copha
Sift sugar and then combine with milk and coconut. Here you can choose the flavours you like: the mixture will be divided up into 1/2 and 3/4. The 1/4 will be the yolk, coloured yellow and the 3/4 will be the white, flavoured coconut or vanilla. You can colour the yolk green and flavour it peppermint, or red/pink and use rosewater or orange and use orangewater. You choose!!!.
Make the 1/4 yolk part into small 1 1/2 cm balls ( 3/4 inch?) and shape the white mixture around to form egg shapes. Now if you like you can roll them in extra coconut and refrigerate and they are ready, or you can just refrigerate them till set and then dip them in the combined melted chocolate and copha. Either way they are easy and tasty Easter treats. Makes about 30.
