Friday's on my mind!!!
NB: I am too lazy to go back and make the previous post's recipe orange. The will just BE two red ones!!!!
Good Friday is over. I felt dull and lethargic all day. I had Milk Arrowroot biscuits for breakfast and lunch – 8 in all, and cups of tea. No wonder I was vague: I had eaten no real food. I went to Karen’s at about 3-30 pm and we watched the DVD of Stargate the movie and then the first 2 episodes of Stargate SG1 the series. There was more plot in one episode of SG1 than in the whole film, though they did set up the entire show, all the ideas and science etc. The writers must have had a good show ‘bible’ as they have barely deviated from it. It as weird to see how young Richard Dean Anderson was though, and Michael Shanks has Spader down pat. Carter was much more aggressive as a character and was only a captain. Teal’c has really bulked up too. I didn’t get home till 8-40 pm and then slept a dream filled sleep again. I have been dreaming every night lately. Long and complicated dreams with huge plots. I can remember parts of them, but they were OK. I never have nightmares. I have never woken up with fear pounding through my veins. I wonder if there is something wrong with me? Other people I know have nightmares. Oh the Labradors have just had a huge chasing game in and outside. It was over a TeddyBunny’s head. Now they need a big rest!!!
Bah humbug, the online access to the Library was supposed to be off line tomorrow for updating etc, but it is not there now. I hate that. I wanted to place a hold on a science book about language. I am addicted to books about langue. It fascinates me. I am reading The Storied of English by David Crystal at the moment, having just watched and read The Adventure of English by Melvyn Bragg.
I have apparently invented a very nice truffle. It was an act of desperation as I had no honey or nuts. I like to call them:
White Lemon Truffles.
200 g white chocolate
125 g cream cheese
½ to ¾ cup coconut
extra coconut for rolling
grated rind of a large lemon
Melt chocolate and cream cheese carefully. Add rind and beat with a wooden spoon till smooth. Fold in coconut – I sometimes use the shredded coconut for a change. Refrigerate till cool enough to roll into balls and then roll in extra coconut. I often pour the mixture into a square lined tin. It is easy then to cut the cooled mixture into even squares and then roll into truffles. They are all the same size then!!!
