It's not really hard to guess the meaning behind my blog name. Keeping it nice and simple!
I am taking part in a recipe exchange and going to post all the recipes I get. Here is the first one I got from Erena which sounds yummy!
SUMMER PUDDING TOAST
4 punnets mixed berries (redcurrants, raspberries, blueberries)
125g sugar
250g strawberries, stems removed and halved
6 slices brioche
Pick over the punnets of fruit, removing any stems or leaves. Put the berries in a saucepan with 60ml water and the sugar. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer gently for about 8 minutes. Put the halved strawberries in a bowl and press the cooked fruit syrup through a sieve over the strawberries. Let stand for at least 30 minutes, then chill or leave overnight in the fridge. When ready to serve, toast the brioche and spoon the fruit syrup over each slice, arranging the strawberries over the top. Serve with a sprinkling of icing sugar, sugar-dusted mint leaves and thick double cream.
I love going to the mailbox and finding goodies in it, yesterday I got sent cards from the Artist Trading Card swap, here they are...
And Russell came over with his badges and I bought 6 badges. I already gave Mum her one it was a bell bird.
The Youtube clip for the day is something a little bit different 'Eye Art'
