Toothachey.
Just why.
Oh no, I hope it eases. Good to hear from you even if it's not a good update
Very tired today. Took the dog for a walk. Now out having a coffee.
Chilling at home after meeting my dear old mate for our regular Sunday walk in the Phoenix Park earlier this afternoon.
Lovely and sunny out, but just missed a heavy shower as I got home! 🍂🍂🌧
Wonderful Autumn colours on display.
Trees going to get very nekkid in the west tonight/tomorrow with incoming blowy air.
Yes, storm Debs
Oh, Deborah, do you recall?
Your house was very small
With wood chip on the wall
When I came 'round to call
You didn't notice me at all
This is Hardcore is Pulps best song, fite me 🤣
Batten down the hatches!
My favourite "Deborah" song from Dave Edmunds:
There's a girl living in this town
She's a fox and she knows it well
All the fellows for miles around want to get her but they never will
Just to have a girl with so much class
They'd crawl a mile over broken glass
And she'd let em do it just for a game
Deborah's her name
Deborah
Heart breaking love making connoisseur
Looks like Cork will be spared the worst, but everyone in her path best hunker down. Deborah looks like one mean b***h!
Deskside here, just got the red wine cake in the oven. Got a weird feeling about the whole thing.
Lazy day otherwise, taking it easy seems to be the order of the day for me lately...
Looking at my schedule for the week, nothing I need to be apprehensive of.. no health care / dental appointments, nothing I need to get, nowhere I need to be, no birthdays, social engagements, last minute shopping or anything…. Continue my Christmas shopping if the fancy takes me….but otherwise I think I’ll settle on having an enjoyable one…
I cannot tag anyone, everytime I choose a poster it changes to some other poster...so Mam and Calla, Sky Documentaries, Six Silent Killings, Irelands Vanishing Triangle, 2 episodes, nothing really new but definitely worth a watch.
I had a brilliant weekend, winding down with pizza, chips and a glass of wine. The weeks are flying by, Christmas party very soon, where has this year gone..🤔
One of my Facebook 'friends ' has just posted photos of her Christmas tree and decorations, seriously, ffs, I might have to pour another glass. 🙄🙄🙁
Someone I know put up their tree last night. I can't get over it.
Anyone with a Christmas tree up needs their head examined. I bought a new one yesterday and it's still in the fooking boot of the car. My birthday is next week. From childhood through teens and into my twenties there was nothing Christmas related in the shops. Now I have a Christmas birthday! Think I'll have a beer! Late school start tomorrow.
Frustrated. Cake broke apart when I removed it from the form. Probably didn't wait long enough for it to cool down. Broke down the middle though, so the halves are at least salvageable. Just finished putting the chocolate icing on and removed a slice for "quality control" 😁 Will post a picture & recipe later, if ye want.
Im dying to know what it tastes like..what's the verdict?
Unfriend them fast 😒
😂😂
A bit too chocolatey for my taste, the cocoa powder I used was probably a bit too intense and overpowers the cinnamon a little, but it's definitely reminiscent to how my mom used to make it.
Here's the recipe, by the way:
(As per my late mom)
Sounds lovely thomil, enjoy. What did you do with the leftover red wine? 🤔😁🍷
I still need some for the second attempt I'm going to do later this week 😁
Red wine cake? Duvet will add all the wine 😂
I remember darina Allen saying that sugar nowadays is sweeter than yrs ago and they have had to adjust old recipes to reduce sugar quantities.
Cheeky pup...I think I'd actually find it difficult to pour wine into a cake mixture rather than a glass.☺️
Im gonna hava a whack of that...sounds lovely
agh I hate when cakes do that. It might have broken or split in the middle while baking if there was too much leavening agent. It causes the cake to rise too fast so it ends up splitting.
Could also be the oven was a bit too high, either tend to cause that. It drives me demented so I bought an oven thermometer the dials are often just close enough I guess..
One bit of advice. Just use regular cocoa powder, no need to go for some sort of dedicated baking cocoa. Found that out the hard way...
Oh wow, I need to make this 👀
