This has become our new best friend...




We need shares in baby panadol at the moment. The little man has two middle ear infections, a sore throat and he also threw us into mild panic last night with a purple rash, which was thankfully due to his high temp. We were lucky that one of the dads of the kids on Michael's football team (that is a bit long winded) is a Doctor and he offered to open his surgery and look at Archie rather than waiting hours in emergency. What service!!!



We did do some cooking today (well I did..the girls are coughing too much to be any where need food) and I have to share this recipe. I had seen this recipe around blog land (I just can't remember which blog) and thought it was the perfect thing for afternoon tea on a cold winters day. It went down a treat and got the thumbs up from the 3 little monkeys.




Bostun Bun Recipe

1 cup of warm mashed potato

1 cup of mixed fruit / sultanas (we chopped up some apricots and also added choc chips)

3/4 cup castor sugar

2 cups SR flour

1 tspn mixed spice

few drops of vanilla essence

Heat oven to 200 deg Celsius and grease ring tin or round cake tin

Combine potato and sugar. Add all remaining ingredients and mix well. Bake for 35-45 mins or when cooked. Allow to cool in the tin and then ice with vanilla icing and sprinkle with coconut. (As you can see in the photo..I was too impatient to allow it to cool before I iced..whoops a bad chef. You wouldn't know that I did a semester as a chef as part of my Hotel Management degree)
