Our Weekend

On Saturday we decided to check out "Paper and Stuff" - A scrapbooking shop in Cooranbong, only to find they aren't open Saturday - only Sunday and weekdays. We will probably go to Watagans one Sunday and check it out on the way home. We found a great scrapbooking shop tucked away in the industrial estate at Tuggerah though, and I think we'll be going back there. It has more variety than the shop at Charmhaven.

We had a nice lunch up at Morriset on Saturday and a walk around. I got some stickers for my album.

Jazmin has taken to waking up twice a night again, but generally if I leave her to it, within 5 minutes she's gone back to sleep again. It takes all my willpower to not go in and see her. I figure if she was really hungry, she'd let me know and not just whimper about it - after all she seems to have no problem in the day. This week she's started eating apple and seems to quite like it.

I made a Mocha pudding last night, I can't believe how much Justin ate! He said he likes it - here's the recipe:

Mocha Self Saucing Pudding

60g butter
1 cup caster sugar
1 ½ cups self raising flour
¾ cup milk
½ cup cocoa
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
2 cups boiling water

Melt butter in deep microwave safe dish uncovered on high for 1 min
Stir in caster sugar, flour, milk and half the cocoa
Whisk until smooth
Sift remaining cocoa, brown sugar and coffee powder evenly over top
Carefully pour boiling water over brown sugar mixture
Cook uncovered on high about 12 mins or until just cooked in centre
Stand 5 mins before serving

I added a bit more milk, and next time I'll put more coffee in, but that's just personal preference. I served it with walnuts and cream.

Justin has appointments on the Central Coast and in Newcastle later this week, which will be great for all of us.
