Here comes the rain again
It is still raining here and so grey. The blossom has been blown off the trees the garden looks green but not much else. All this wet weather seems to have us craving sugary treats. On Friday I made a Honey Ginger Cake, from the River Cottage Family Cookbook, it's one of those cakes that needs to be left for a day or two to get really good, but that is asking a lot in this house and luckily it is pretty tasty when fresh too.
On Saturday the children spent a hour playing with play dough making pretend dinosaur biscuits and then we washed up the cutters and made the real thing using a Nigella recipe. On Sunday not only did we have Sticky Toffee pudding but Marcus was allowed to use the kitchen (under my close supervision) to make toffee with the children. Needless to say I now have furry teeth and a bit of a sugar headache but it has helped to distract us from all this rain.
