So much for me posting more often, I started off well but this week as been the usual whirl wind of activities! I am soooo glad it is Saturday, even though I have a busy day ahead of me. Lots of housework to catch up on, a trip to the supermarket, ironing my 19 year olds clothes so he can pack for his holiday to Benidorm (eek) a bit of ebaying (hopefully) and if I'm all done I can settle down tonight and watch X Factor. Maybe with a glass of wine, if I'm lucky.
I made the Hokey Pokey (cinder toffee, honeycomb) from Nigella Express. I thought I followed the instructions accurately but I must have done something wrong because it didn't set properly and had to been thrown away. Shame because it was fun to make and really simple. I think it must have been too little/much golden syrup - it is difficult to measure that stuff. Has anyone else made this?
Well I can't sit here all morning (pity!) so I better get cracking on those jobs.
Thanks for giving me a little giggle this morning. I guess it must be the Golden Syrup, try warming the spoon in boiling water before measuring out.Enjoy your day, I'm off to do the housework now too.
