New Recipe - Weetbix Slice

I found a new recipe and it is quite good. Just thought I would share.

Before you ask, Weetbix is a popular cereal here. It is whole wheat, flaked (rather thinly) and then pressed into a biscuit. (Sort of the idea behind shredded wheat but that is stringy and not small thin flakes. I am not sure if Shredded wheat would work but a thin light wheat flake would do).

5 Biscuits Weetbix, Crushed. (that is about 75g or looked like roughly 2 cups). The recipe I got, called for 4 biscuits but it was too much liquid and did not set properly.

1 cup of Oats

1 cup of Desiccated Coconut (take shredded coconut, toast it in a low oven for 5-10 min and crush it (or food processor it) finly)

1/2 cup Brown Sugar

250 Gms of Butter or Margarine, melted (That is just a bit more than two cubes or a whole cup)

1 tbls (or 2) of Honey or Golden Syrup

350 gms of Chocolate Chips

Mix first four ingredients until evenly combined. Toss in chocolate. Add syrup/honey to butter, and combine. It should be crumbly.

Press into a Jelly roll pan (1 in x 10in x 15 in) that is lined with baking paper (aids in containing mess and getting bars out of pan). Bake at 175 degrees C for 10 min (should be bubbly).

When it is fresh out of the oven, cut it into pieces but let cool in pan. It will be a combo of crunchy/chewy goodness.

You could also take the chocolate and melt it and spread it on top once it is cool or you could sub the chocolate for sultanas (rasins).

Really fab.

Black Flipflops

On Friday we went to Dinner at the RSL (returned Service members league Club) where they have this fabulous Chinese Malaysian Restaurant. Since I had missed my shower that day, I decided to shower before we went and I put on makeup. I took one look at me and finally understood why this one friend I see all the time, every time she see me, she says, you look exhausted. What a difference it made. Well I went to put on shoes and realize that I always put on my go to black flipflops. In the car ride over, I remembered life before kids where makeup was a regular occurance and how I would always reach for my go to pair of low black heels. Well now I have graduated to flipflops. How weird is that?

We got the new oven and I am baking up a storm. Meatloaf, dinner rolls, anything and everything I can, goes in the oven. And it works oh so well. Amazing how I have limped along for so long and how I missed it.

The boys are teething which is no fun for anyone but it really means something to me. I remember right after they were born and my in-laws left, and Erik's colic started and I thought in my lowly depressed state, how will I ever make it? Well we did. And teething just means that one day they will eat and drink at the table like the rest of us. A thought I could never imagine but soon shall see.

Cool Quote

 I saw a cool quote the other day.

 The Past is a big Stick.  Don't beat yourself with it.

 I saw that and thought, you know, that really just says it.   I have been thinking a lot of the past lately, just sentimental I guess, and whenever I think about it, I always come down to one thing. The past is just that, the past.  I can not change it, and chances are, no one wants to hear the excuses I make for the not so bright and shining moments.  So why hold on to all that.  Just move forward. I find that I have said that alot over the years.  Just move forward. 

The boys will be 7 mos soon and everyday, it seems like we are fitting together more as a family.  I am not sure if it was because we had Helen and then the boys came soon after but when we first brought the boys home, it felt like we were disjointed.  Like maybe we were doing our own thing just trying to make it through the first couple of months.  And now, it feels like everyone is starting to feel a place here.  I am sure some people feel that in their families straight away, but here, it just felt like...everything is starting to click. (Now that I have said that, I am sure everyone will throw me for a loop) but here it is.  Today felt like a pretty good day.  The morning was a little rough but like I said, move forward.  Forget the bad, keep the good, and look forward to tomorrow.  I wonder what adventure we will have tomorrow.
