Sometimes I add in chocolate chips before cooking and also top it with a chocolate topping, sometimes I just leave it plain and dust it with icing sugar or cocoa powder, anyway you like it it's good!<br />
Here we go then:<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
175g (6oz) margarine or butter<br />
350g (12oz) caster sugar<br />
1 teaspoon of vanilla essecnce (or extract)<br />
3 eggs<br />
125g (5 oz) plain flour<br />
1 level teaspoon of baking powder<br />
50 g (2oz) cocoa<br />
A rectangular tin 22 x 30 x 2.5 cm lined with greaseproof paper (or sprayed well with cake release spray)<br />
<br />
1 Heat oven to 180C (350f) Put margarine or butter in a saucepan and melt on a low heat (or you could just melt it in a bowl in the microwave) Pour into a large bowl and add in the sugar and vanilla, mix together well.<br />
<br />
2 Break the eggs into a small bowl or a mug and stir together with a fork to mix, add to the sugar and butter mix a little at a time, beating well between each addition.<br />
<br />
3 Sift the flour through a sieve into the bowl with the other ingredients, add the baking powder and cocoa powder and mix all together well.<br />
<br />
4 Spoon the mixture into the tin and smooth the top a little then bake in the oven for approx 40 mins, when cooked the mixture should have risen and have a crust on the top but still be soft in the middle. cut the cooked mixture into squares and cool on a wire rack, this recipe makes about 15 large brownies or 25 small ones which are plenty big enough for kiddies!!!<br />

Place your pastry dough on the floured surface ready to roll out.
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Cut a piece of baking paper to lie on top of a baking sheet.
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And now roll the pastry dough into as near a rectangle shape as you can … don’t worry too much about the shape but you are aiming for the same sort of shape as your baking tray.
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Now spread your choice of jam over the pastry, leaving a one inch border all the way round – this helps to stop the jam squidging out when you roll it up.
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Now the slightly messy part …. roll the pastry up, not tightly and very gently, almost lifting each time you roll to prevent major leakage of jam! I roll the long side, some people roll the short side, it depends on how think you want your slice of pudding!
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Transfer the roll carefully to the lined baking tray.
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Beat the egg and brush over the top of the roll, then sprinkle with the two teaspoons of Demerara sugar – this will give the roly poly a lovely crunchy top when it’s cooked.
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
And now to bake it … cook for 10 minutes at 200C, Gas 6 and then turn your oven down to 180C, Gas 4 for a further 20 minutes until the roly poly is lovely and brown and crunchy on the top.
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-image: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Nearly time to enjoy your delicious old fashioned pud, just the matter of custard to sort now. If you are a purist, you will make custard with a double boiler and egg yolks, if you are a half purist, you will make custard with Birds Custard Powder and boiling milk, but if you don’t have the time or inclination for that, ready made will suffice …..!</div>

Happy new year everyone! 2012! Can u believe it? I have just made it one of my new year's resolutions to start blogging again, as I had reason to look at my blog the other day and it made me smile to look back at the picture's of my kid's and see how much they have grown, the time flies by so past and in this digital age I for one find that I don't print my pictures but instead leave them sitting forlornly on a disc which is just so sad, so it is nice to look back and see how much they have grown. I also have to admit that I was shocked to notice that my last post was WAY back then in 2010! alot has happened since then, My Dad passed away in May 2010 and that made me feel very depressed and not in the mood to share my thoughts with anyone, also with the recession the past couple of year's have been tough, not so much money around, little or no work to be found and living on a very tight budget, so I am going to also use my blog as a tool to plan my weekly menus and add some new recipes, it's always a handy place to keep things!<br />
My son Seán was 5 on the 8th of Jan this year but his best friend was also 5 the day before and held his party that weekend, so I decided then that we would have ours the following weekend and so we did, Seán was in his element and had a great time, he was so happy to have all of his friends at his house and delighted with all of his pressies! My sister also brought us this great drinks fountain at Christmas as an extra present and it was a great addition, the kids loved it, we also dug out our chocolate fountain which we got a few years ago but it is always a great success! They all had a great time anyway so that's what counts!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840858148129471845.post-24529514529773523012010-03-18T12:40:00.001+00:002010-03-18T12:40:49.021+00:00St Patricks Day Miltown Malbay 2010!<object width="500" height="315"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/196udxkzv_0&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/196udxkzv_0&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x234900&color2=0x4e9e00&border=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="315"></embed></object>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840858148129471845.post-44387338795913005692010-01-18T19:27:00.002+00:002010-01-18T19:30:09.896+00:00The Gravel Poets<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RcKGzX9SqYc&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RcKGzX9SqYc&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0xcc2550&color2=0xe87a9f" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object><br />A friend of mine is in this band,they have just produced their first album, I'm loving this song, if you like it please check them out on you tube as every impression made on their video counts for them!<br />MaureenUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840858148129471845.post-58003505769255972132010-01-12T18:31:00.005+00:002010-01-12T18:43:47.963+00:00Groundhog day no more!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUb_kFGaznEVzPefU1cMHFYE3iRNcwRDUbrq0kjT3yDwRMgAuCZs5fBlFZ7pJMzCyaebpeh1GpUr20f0uU6d5zEjVJOdQODKv3TcwYmgtdrdK98Vng4QHAwIYzg11XhoV_YiDXrmNXTSI/s1600-h/089.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425924436966779170" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUb_kFGaznEVzPefU1cMHFYE3iRNcwRDUbrq0kjT3yDwRMgAuCZs5fBlFZ7pJMzCyaebpeh1GpUr20f0uU6d5zEjVJOdQODKv3TcwYmgtdrdK98Vng4QHAwIYzg11XhoV_YiDXrmNXTSI/s320/089.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKO-KIGsm0xPxUbxfcDCR-9Hh5cwlaiqiOTPcgjDa9OCFGJbvu-HMOOLRl2H01-O6rwj2jUgG006YZgd_YHZV9yJrqYjSbAXacWGXmFzQzzDRem83h6MRwHo8yI_5R9FB_zSq6lKG51Nw/s1600-h/103.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425924433614936882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKO-KIGsm0xPxUbxfcDCR-9Hh5cwlaiqiOTPcgjDa9OCFGJbvu-HMOOLRl2H01-O6rwj2jUgG006YZgd_YHZV9yJrqYjSbAXacWGXmFzQzzDRem83h6MRwHo8yI_5R9FB_zSq6lKG51Nw/s320/103.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu_wH4aZKkOubgDYwkkpB5K0yJScC3yfyYmRfWgEzs4dYg_AzvxiMO5v5i5fvTiOugGJYb4zsHu3tsPvhlEn3dEU7im2D2-UIDfZjVf5-upOSM5GdOxNGXWXXbKfxNletgjVxb7j5zXus/s1600-h/119.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425924432251060818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu_wH4aZKkOubgDYwkkpB5K0yJScC3yfyYmRfWgEzs4dYg_AzvxiMO5v5i5fvTiOugGJYb4zsHu3tsPvhlEn3dEU7im2D2-UIDfZjVf5-upOSM5GdOxNGXWXXbKfxNletgjVxb7j5zXus/s320/119.JPG" /></a> You know that you live in a farming community when your children make snow 'bales' instead of snowmen!

Schools have been cancelled and so we have not resumed our usual routine and no work is getting done! However this morning we felt a return to normality as we woke to rain and gale force winds! Its amazing the difference that one day makes, I took the top three pics yesterday and the bottom one today! However I'm not in any hurry to go driving on those roads today they look like glass! So it will be another evening in beside the fire doing crochet or knitting! Hope its good wherever you are!<br />MaureenUnknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840858148129471845.post-54486948252823983042009-12-31T23:43:00.000+00:002009-12-31T23:45:25.005+00:00Happy New Year!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNcEdtRKFtj4Ujr5zmFJP1oH4zqRsvZbzUf7BOB_OiwhTMoa0WFYirwBxq1e9gyd046z3_ZHyBcs50RE-pk9tCnUHusPjY-EfopDuE7SSbf_OiM_kgByMS7aY_7Mrvq5PgmsMNLJwtE8w/s1600-h/newyearsgirl5.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 222px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421550437926024466" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNcEdtRKFtj4Ujr5zmFJP1oH4zqRsvZbzUf7BOB_OiwhTMoa0WFYirwBxq1e9gyd046z3_ZHyBcs50RE-pk9tCnUHusPjY-EfopDuE7SSbf_OiM_kgByMS7aY_7Mrvq5PgmsMNLJwtE8w/s320/newyearsgirl5.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="center">Here's hoping that 2010 is the best yet!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840858148129471845.post-13331640044948518272009-12-31T01:39:00.007+00:002009-12-31T01:50:45.580+00:00Hope you all had a great Christmas!One of my new years resolutions is that from now on I will make the time to come and blog more often! I know I seriously neglected my blogging buddies in the later part of this year and I am truly sorry, but things just got on top of me, life and business got in my way as they do and I did int seem to ever have enough hours in the day, and although 2009 wasn't a bad year for me, /I won't be sorry to see it gone and look forward to the blank page that is 2010, a new year and a new decade. We had a good Christmas, as I hope you all did and much excitement to see Snow, which we don't often see here by the sea, although it made travelling hard and so I still haven't got to see my family for Christmas as they live a couple of hours drive away but have been on the telephone so not too bad. I am trying to upload some pictures for this post but blogger is having none of it so I may try and add some Christmas pictures tomorrow, before the new year arrives, so will chat to you again then,<br />Moe<br />xxxUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840858148129471845.post-37908514944523648122009-11-01T16:29:00.003+00:002009-11-01T16:43:00.302+00:00Halloween<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_yp6bE03BF-zKLFBTTESkOSvPZ1zu-C3YxICv5JOBiFbxca2DWAOkP47ox-erV3VbRJe7SKD0NTC-Po7IL3yXsAzepYnMwBJAkhqfyA8O9gOAJB_xhnPA90Mr-p0F41oWFsH9NWJUCWU/s1600-h/571.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399176142821269426" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_yp6bE03BF-zKLFBTTESkOSvPZ1zu-C3YxICv5JOBiFbxca2DWAOkP47ox-erV3VbRJe7SKD0NTC-Po7IL3yXsAzepYnMwBJAkhqfyA8O9gOAJB_xhnPA90Mr-p0F41oWFsH9NWJUCWU/s320/571.JPG" /></a> Our Crew<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmaLCF3XRBsPDZGz1RVxvo1zB_ZdKOmBah7Nu4PFggwxI1yLgm5vC-OGK9-MJSKgeuYPURR9NsTdpRz8c7S4sIApV3FG5OwBvoJu9n52JmZB-nnwys69JK2dA4mFYop9Rr_iBKr0-BAFU/s1600-h/561.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 192px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399176138334360546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmaLCF3XRBsPDZGz1RVxvo1zB_ZdKOmBah7Nu4PFggwxI1yLgm5vC-OGK9-MJSKgeuYPURR9NsTdpRz8c7S4sIApV3FG5OwBvoJu9n52JmZB-nnwys69JK2dA4mFYop9Rr_iBKr0-BAFU/s320/561.JPG" /></a>We had a Witch..........<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitKdmBJt33IckuRwOblQz0MSXN8xgk-SFvVqb351haM-USbF_ozeqxMtAl5a6hFyr-71_hWrs3DRhQRyDJ-81K4121LmD6TxTpeMJNmqnglYMV8rERdUSgs2LamAkCfQAdiPn_FZMukn4/s1600-h/567.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399176132094006514" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitKdmBJt33IckuRwOblQz0MSXN8xgk-SFvVqb351haM-USbF_ozeqxMtAl5a6hFyr-71_hWrs3DRhQRyDJ-81K4121LmD6TxTpeMJNmqnglYMV8rERdUSgs2LamAkCfQAdiPn_FZMukn4/s320/567.JPG" /></a>a bat!.................<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHEWZlwSS_MPjAt2MXTGNrWyqrhgrKHN0vMbd7hCGiYrNgJBps_lEMlnkSEs_RCbcItbwaSI5vltwFiQ1ZCif1cBo3CWb3HJ_oMi8svW8KAUOtJ4EE7VkfEjxItOiwTSRA1D_qJ21Zt2k/s1600-h/563.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399176128949824530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHEWZlwSS_MPjAt2MXTGNrWyqrhgrKHN0vMbd7hCGiYrNgJBps_lEMlnkSEs_RCbcItbwaSI5vltwFiQ1ZCif1cBo3CWb3HJ_oMi8svW8KAUOtJ4EE7VkfEjxItOiwTSRA1D_qJ21Zt2k/s320/563.JPG" /></a>and a devil!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhME9AkXU84rxbVSpsOpAaHf32ihz5dwnvBlPWiKUxUvBollJQs50HtxEG7YKFQxkdWsr0nIVV_rVnuBASLirc_TTCEByk_sJD2SQvEz37VZA7Jna3CalPHePHJjGr7McyjBkRXGXjukbc/s1600-h/579.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399176125664506258" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhME9AkXU84rxbVSpsOpAaHf32ihz5dwnvBlPWiKUxUvBollJQs50HtxEG7YKFQxkdWsr0nIVV_rVnuBASLirc_TTCEByk_sJD2SQvEz37VZA7Jna3CalPHePHJjGr7McyjBkRXGXjukbc/s320/579.JPG" /></a>The whole crew!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="left"><br />Hi There,<br />Hope you are all well, just thought I would post some Halloween pics.

They espically loved the ballon making kit that had lots of balloons and sticky bits that you stuck on to make the balloons into birds. And in Keeping with the bird theme there was also a lovely kit for making glittered cards with birds on. My niece Denise is here with us this week and is a little shy but she also enjoyed making both the ballons and the cards. One of the Cards Aisling put Thank you on with glue and is sending this one as a Thank You to the Lovely Auntie Margaret who kindly got them for us.

His Friends are doing him proud tonight remembering him at this remembrance concert, and so we see that in Show business as always <strong>The Show must go on.<br /></strong><div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7840858148129471845.post-35824171316065648242009-07-07T10:44:00.008+01:002009-07-08T10:25:29.746+01:00Sean & The Greendale Rocket (well not Really!)On Sunday afternoon we went to a local truck show, My husband John is big into trucks and the kids Love these as well, I just tag along, although I must say that some of the painted trucks are works of art and I also like the vintage section and the American Trucks, however we were a bit late in going and so I didin't get many pictures and alot of our time there was spent looking at this green train which was on a trailer, Sean is a Huge fan of Postman Pat, he really loves him and was totally convinced that this was the Greendale Rocket (the train that is in Postman Pat)<br />We had to literally drag him away from it in the end, when we came home Aoife and Sean did a spot of baking, Well Aoife did, Sean just did alot of eating!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-uwDN9woUJoidfuiZJhhl_i6ZYxMo95whX-4JSThQoKuAL1z-OR45wPMt6QYQzPpQhAY0a2kn-Ik9XvlQi4MoofxU1AiNHCXke7WlnEPcFq5-4yk2klUYdMrN8BukZS_J8XzVBIo9v_I/s1600-h/061.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;
