Completely Over It (and a recipe for Chocolate Crackles)

Gorgeous brooch made by Cathie - Blurry mobile phone photo by me!

I'm a fairly placid and easygoing and patient person these days, but I've REALLY had enough now. I just want to go home to my own house, and sleep in my own bed where it's nice and dark and quiet and peaceful and private!

I needed a change of scenery today, so I spent the entire morning in the coffee shop, reading the Sunday paper back to back.

I found a very interesting Donna Hay Chocolate Crackle recipe in the Sunday Magazine which I'm definitely going to test out.

Chocolate Crackles

200g dark chocolate, chopped
100g butter
1/3 cup golden syrup
4 cups puffed rice cereal

Place the chocolate, butter and golden syrup in a suacepan over low heat and cook, stirring, until melted and smooth.
Place the cereal in a bowl with the chocolate mixture and mix well to combine.
Spoon 2 teaspoons of the mixture into 48 small paper cases.
Refrigerate for 1 hour or until set.
Makes 48.

Now that sounds much yummier than the old school version which uses copha.

To fill in the rest of the day, I have a crossword and my knitting.

I'd better be getting out of here tomorrow.... I really can't take much more!
